Folklore

That’s Roger Miller, playing the Dukes-of-Hazard-style minstrel Allan a Dale, with one of the songs from the 1973 cartoon version of Robin Hood.

That’s Winton Marsalis with the opening from the story, “The Fiddler and the the Dancin’ Witch,” about a little boy named Simeon who’d rather play his father’s magic fiddle than almost anything else.

That’s Deborah Henson-Conant, the composer and author, reading the opening from her musical sequel to “The Frog Prince” — just in time for Jacob Grimm’s birthday tomorrow.
