Abstract
Some European folk music being performed in the North America remains substantially true to authentic versions brought over by early immigrants. Musicologists have combed the countryside of North America in search of such music, which in some cases, has been better preserved here than in its country of origin. Occasionally, music forms that have “morphed” have been restored by dedicated individuals who were generations removed from initial arrival of the music. Clete (Cletus) Bellin is an example of such a dedicated individual.
