California Folklife: Worth Checking Out
While researching some local urban legends this morning, I accidentally stumbled across an interesting blog entitled California Folklife. Written by California native Stephen Higa, the blog is an extension of a “regional folklore night” he developed as a grad student in Rhode Island. While he only posts sporadically, what he has written is all at once entertaining and thought-provoking. Well worth checking out.
Higa’s stated purpose is to promote an appreciation of the “rich cultural heritage of the Far West.” When he introduced the blog back in July, he invited readers to share articles, songs, photos and “anything that somehow documents the grassroots culture of greater California, past and present.” No sign that anyone’s taken him up on the offer, so maybe Dateline>City of Angels readers can lend this kindred spirit a hand. I’ve added his site to my blogroll under The Great Beyond header.
