Addressing the American Folklore Society at the 1988\u00a0Centennial Meetings, Bess Lomax Hawes\u00a0told a story about doing fieldwork, the sine qua non of the folklore profession.\u00a0When she was teaching years ago,\u00a0a\u00a0student of hers had done an excellent term paper based on some folk curing beliefs which he had collected from an old lady in his neighborhood. By semester’s end he complained, “You taught me all about how to collect, Mrs. Hawes. What you didn’t teach me was how to stop <\/em>collecting. That old lady lives on my block and every night when I come home, she runs out on the porch and says, ‘Hey boy, I just remembered another one!’\u00a0 I keep trying to explain to her that my project is all finished, but she just won’t stop, and I’m starting to go up the alley when I go home just so I won’t run into her.”<\/p>\n

“My dear young man,” Bess responded, \u00a0“welcome to the grown-up world. It’s a place where real actions have real results, where real people have real feelings as well as real information. And it’s a place where old ladies actually think that people who say they are interested in what they know really are interested, and issues like course requirements and semesters and quarters are really irrelevant. You’ve gotten your A. Now you start to pay back.” (excerpt taken from Public Folkore<\/span>, edited by Robert Baron and Nicholas R. Spitzer,\u00a01992, page 68.)<\/p>\n

Bess Lomax Hawes, a folklorist of national renown,\u00a0died\u00a0last Friday.\u00a0Today’s Boston Globe pays tribute <\/a>to her and the\u00a0little piece of\u00a0local folklore she left behind. During the 1940s, while\u00a0raising her family in Cambridge,\u00a0Bess sang with local folk groups and tried her hand at songwriting.\u00a0Today’s Boston Globe <\/em>story focuses on “Charlie and the MTA,”\u00a0a song Bess co-wrote with her friend Jacqueline Steiner. The political ditty poked fun at the Massachusetts Transit Authority’s complicated fare system and went on to become a hit.<\/p>\n

In addition to a career as a performer and teacher, Bess Lomax Hawes was a remarkably\u00a0effective arts administrator.\u00a0Rocco Landesman, current Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, reminds us that,\u00a0during her\u00a016-year tenure as Director of the NEA’s Folk & Traditional Arts Program,\u00a0Hawes inspired her colleagues to re-imagine how a federal agency\u00a0might serve often overlooked artists and communities across the nation. Hawes was largely responsible for creating this country’s version of the Japanese\u00a0Living National Treasures program. The first National Heritage Fellowships were awarded in 1982 and they continue to be the country’s highest honor awarded to individual artists working in the traditional arts.<\/p>\n

Finding, documenting, presenting, and honoring traditional artists is work that is carried out\u00a0at the grassroots level. Bess was the<\/em> driving force behind establishing the network of public folklorists we have in the United States today.\u00a0My colleague Jeff Titon recalls the\u00a0United States map Bess kept in her office: “Whenever a folklorist got a job in one of those states, a colored push pin went into the location. She used to point to the map with great pride as the number of pins, and states, and public folklorists, increased. It was as if this gentle lady was mapping an occupying army moving into positions around the country.”<\/p>\n

Indeed it was Bess who took Jeff aside in the early 1980s and began asking\u00a0him why there wasn’t a position for a state folklorist in Massachusetts. Jeff writes, “It wasn’t long before\u00a0Jane Beck [founder of the \u00a0Vermont Folklife Center] and I\u00a0were lobbying at the state arts council, telling them that the NEA would fund a position for a state folk arts coordinator for three years, and that when the arts council saw how valuable it would be to have one, they would surely pick up the funding from then on.\u00a0. . That is how the position that Maggie Holtzberg now holds with the\u00a0Massachusetts Cultural Council originated. The pattern had been established before Massachusetts, and it was repeated in state after state.”<\/p>\n

Many public folklorists, like myself, who were lucky enough to enter\u00a0the field in the\u00a01980s, were mentored by Bess.\u00a0\u00a0We looked to her for\u00a0advice and\u00a0wisdom. This is\u00a0why,\u00a0during the past few days,\u00a0my email box has been overflowing\u00a0with “Bess stories” —\u00a0moving\u00a0memories of this pioneering, principled, formidable,\u00a0feisty, fun-spirited\u00a0woman.\u00a0We are\u00a0often reminded of her in our daily work and will miss her presence in the world profoundly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
