Title: Fanny Stanfield
Identifier(s): audio:7845; APSdigrec_1183; Recording Number: 03; Program Number: 02
Description: "No. 1. Copper River Song. (While singing, Harry Johns made her laugh). Her father & mother sang it long ago. No. 2. SARani (Crow) and nAlbei (Seagull) dance song. They are supposed to be eating a dead man. This song is supposed to be from Cordova, perhaps Eyak, Fanny suggested. One person lies on the floor, and then the sARani come first to eat the dead person. Then another one comes. All sARani (crows), I guess. q'ax qax! they say. Two people dance and eat the dead person, act just like sARani. When we dance you should see them. Some man jump around - just like he flying - jump all over dead man. Dead man, he just laying down, never say nothing. [The same song is on Reel 7, Side 1, no. 12, 8/15/58. variously identified as a seagull song, or as a song referring to both crow and seagull. May be Tlingit.] No. 3. Fanny began another song, but interrupted herself. No. 4. Burst into favorite drinking song...'tcelali'."; Copper River Song -- SARani (Crow) and nAlbei (Seagull) dance song -- Interrupted song -- Drinking Song
