Friends and Family Reminisce about Lomax (Clip 4 of 4)

In this additional scene from Lomax the Songhunter, Alan Lomax's friends and family reminisce about Lomax the man, and the necessity of his work in preserving traditional music. Singer Shirley Collins says, "Ever since the turn of the last century, people have been aware that traditional music is in danger of dying out because music is a big business now. And you get music pumped at you from radios and televisions and this big music industry that is just damping down on other forms of music."
