Abstract:
Dick Crum (1928-2005) was a teacher, dancer,
and choreographer of European folk music and dance, but his expertise
was in Balkan folk culture. Over the course of his lifetime, Crum
amassed thousands of European folk music records. The UCLA
Ethnomusicology Archive received part of Dick Crum's personal phonograph
collection in 2007. This collection consists of more than 1,300
commercially-produced phonograph recordings (LPs, 78s, 45s) primarily
from Eastern Europe. Many of these albums are no longer in print, or,
are difficult to purchase. More information on Dick Crum can be found in
the Winter 2007 edition of the EAR (Ethnomusicology Archive Report),
