Public Deposited

The following audio transcription is from a short, 3 minute and 24 second recording that includes the voices of John Parris and Troy Whiteside. This recording seems to be an attempt to record a song called Wagon Song, sung by Whiteside. Parris attempts to get a recording but has trouble with the audio recording device. The audio is muffled at times, and cuts out parts of Whiteside’s song. The majority of this audio is Whiteside singing “The Wagon Song”, a folk tune about riding in a wagon in the mountains, some time after the Civil war. The audio then ends abruptly after some mic disturbances.
