Pass the Witch's Broomstick
Pass the witch's broom stick round and round the room
While the music's playing
quickly pass the broom
Anyone is out, if the broom
stick drops
Or the one who has it when the
music stops

In the spring of 1970, ethnomusicologist Henrietta Yurchenco took her American Folk Music class to John’s Island, South Carolina, where the people who welcomed them were “money poor but rich in spirit.” Recorded on location, this album of compelling spirituals, blues, and energetic singing games is not only a musical document but a social one, as the students learned about local life. Of special interest was the vital role the church played in the community; during the Civil Rights Movement, it met spiritual needs and also provided a center for social action.
