(Huddie Ledbetter-John Lomax)
Gordon Jenkins & The Weavers
Recorded May 26, 1948
Decca single #27077

(The following information from Wikipedia)
"Goodnight Irene," or "Irene, Goodnight," is a 20th century American folk standard. Some sources, including blues scholar Paul Oliver, claim the version popularized by Lead Belly in the 1940s is based on the 1886 pop song by Gussie L. Davis. Lead Belly himself said he had learned it from his uncle. It was a US #1 hit for folk group The Weavers in 1950.
It has since been recorded by a number of artists, in pop, country, folk and rock styles (see list below). In 2002, Lead Belly's 1936 Library of Congress recording received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award.
In England, it is associated with Bristol Rovers F.C. many fans sing it during matches.

| | The Weavers - On Top Of Old Smoky - 45rpm - 200 sec
From my father's jukebox.
This old record is in very good shape. You might recognize the same tune in "On Top Of Spaghetti". The banjo introduction sorta made me think that Kermit the Frog is about to sing his Rainbow Connection song.
Artist name reads:
THE WEAVERS
And
TERRY GILKYSON
With Chorus And Orchestra
Directed by VIC SCHOEN

Jenkins worked with the Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, among other singers. The combination of the Weavers' folk music with Jenkins' orchestral arrangements became immensely popular, to the surprise of everyone involved.

| | Varanasi Weavers in crisis - 521 sec
The Varanasi Silk Sari (Banarasi Sari or Brocade) has been an emblem of Indian Culture since ancient times. These beautiful saris woven using handlooms have intricate designs and patterns made from gold and silver thread. Over the years, the demand for these coveted saris, worn both by Hindu and Muslim brides, has reduced.
To make matters worse, Chinese "fakes" made on powerlooms are now available. Exploitation by middlemen and these factors have led to a major decline in the industry. There are approximately 500,000 silk weavers in Varanasi. It is estimated that 60 % of the handlooms are closed. There is starvation and malnutrition. There have been several deaths and suicides reported. Due to lack of work, many highly skilled weavers have chagned professions.
This is an issue of poverty, child labor, human rights, unfair trade, intellectual property rights and threat to cultural heritage. One of the most important reason for this crisis is unchecked and insensitive globalization in developing countries.
This is a video report highlighting this issue. Made by PVCHR ( People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights - a human rights organization working in Varanasi) and (AHRC) Asian Human, Rights Commission, it features the report by Paul Mason of BBC.
Through this video, we hope to spread awareness of this issue. Please let your friends know about this issue by sending this video.

| | Weavers Winter Wonderland - 119 sec
Every year thousands of smiling faces pour into our court to enjoy our Magical Christmas display. Year after year my husband transforms our house (and 14 of our neighbors houses)in to a Disney Christmas theme galore; a magical waterfall with Nemo and friends; Cinderella and her magical horsedrawn carriage; a Rudolph scene with a 25 ft Abominable Snowman putting a star on the rooftop and so much more. He makes everything by hand - its amazing to see him create, build and make come to life this incredible Christmas display.
Our inspiration is the love and joy it brings to others. A family once left a note in our mailbox saying they brought their grandson home from the hospital, and on the way home brought him by to see our house, and it was the first time he had smiled in months. That note made our year and made all the weeks of setting up worth while!
