Description

Interviewer: Mary Amelia Taylor, Recordist: Tambra Benson. Recorded in the home of Tara Jones (Sledge, Miss.) A smoke detector beeped throughout the interview, and several times Tambra stops to confer with her sister Tara, who is sitting on the other end of the couch. Toward the end of the interview a child opens and closes the outside door, and Tara gives her a sharp "Shh."
