Going to Eureka
Max Hunter: This is a recording of a couple or three songs that was made by a lady named Jane Burch at Eureka Springs Arkansas
And Jane was recorded on my little transistor recorder this summer, I believe well I’ll say this fall in the month of October 1959 by Joe - - - of Eureka Springs Arkansas. I loaned Joe the little recorder and he went and saw Jane because he was afraid she wouldn’t sing for anyone but him. So I am going to take the songs off the little transistor and put them on the big tapes. And I’ll have to take it off using the speaker and the mic so the pick won’t be too good.
