    Not too different from the eefing done on the Hee-Haw TV show.

      @@samaraisnt I haven't studied it but as so many Southern music styles have, I imagine it's been carried over and adapted from these two forms:

    Could this be inherited from traditional African music... or is that reading too much into it?

      They are field recordings made by John/Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.

      Couldn’t say, but to me it sounds inspired by the sounds of a freight train.
