MUSIC FROM THE LAND OF THE RACKENSACK
The land between the White and the Arkansas Rivers has at various times been occupied by Indians: the Quapaw, the Osage, the Choctaw and the Cherokee, and from one of these came the word “Rackensack” designating the river itself and the land surrounding it. Few white people ventured into these hills until Arkansas was established as a separate territory in 1819 when settlers gradually made their way from Tennessee and Kentucky. They came with wagons and teams of oxen and mules, they came on horseback and with handcarts. Most of these pioneers were but a generation of two removed from the British Isles and along with an occasional fiddle or banjo, they brought songs of their forefathers and some of their own invention. More instruments were soon fashioned to help fill the quiet nights after the long hard days of clearing timber and coaxing vegetation from the grudging ground (named Stone Country) Here in the land of the Rackensack the people sank their roots and a hardy stock grew and prospered. Of material wealth there was little, but the strength that came from living close to the earth built an endurance evidenced in the rich tradition in the area of music. In 1941 a “folk festival” was held near Blanchard Springs and a program note stated “It is hoped that this festival will become an annual event, as it has mc educational and historical value”. Unfortunately the Second World War caused the realization of this intent to be delayed until 1963 when the country school teacher/song writer named Jimmy driftwood got a few friends together at the medical clinic. They talked about old time music, fiddles, banjos and guitars and making the kind of music the mountain people make. Jimmy took a few of his musicians to Washington where they sang on the Capitol steps and met with the Ways and Means Committee with the result the $2.1 million dollars was allocated for a folk culture center in the land of the Rackensack. Opened in the Spring of 1973.
