“我不能教你，但我可以给你示范。”肯塔基州的民谣歌手多克·霍普金斯用这句话，将自己的音乐心得传授给一位求知若渴的学生，也唤起了美国人性格中那股与生俱来的独立精神。他的话语捕捉到了那种非正式的创造力与日常化的实践，而这些正是民间传统从乡村向城市再回归乡村的过程中所呈现出的特征。
斯蒂芬·韦德讲述了诸如多克·霍普金斯之类的创作者与文物修复师的故事，他们中的许多人出生于十九世纪末及二十世纪的头几十年。这些数字包括Sid Harkreader，Kirk McGee，Ola Belle Reed，Jewel Fagan Haynes，Cordell和Olean Kemp，Bill Monroe，Helen Marie Rowe，Virgil和Mabel Anderson，Joe和Odell Thompson，John Jackson，Huddie Ledbetter，Dave Macon叔叔，Dave Macon，Dorris，大卫·“甜心男孩” 爱德华兹、吉姆·施沃尔、阿奇·格林、劳埃德·刘易斯、萨德斯·威林厄姆、杰克·康罗伊和弗莱明·布朗。正如另一位在此书中亮相的音乐家威尔·基斯曾向笔者描述自己的演奏方式时所说：“AWYC，即‘Whatever You Can’——能怎么弹就怎么弹。”这些人及其故事生动地展现了民间传说如何为我们提供了一种理解世界的方式。
经过深思熟虑的写作，充满了原创性的研究，并充分说明了彩色和黑白摄影，我们的共同生活照亮了一个事实，即非正式传统中的创作自由，对艺术家及其过程至关重要，讲述了国家的创始宪章中记载的足智多谋，并在其共同生活中表达。

“I can’t teach you, but I can show you.” With these words, Kentucky balladeer Doc Hopkins shared his musical knowledge with a willing student, summoning an independent streak deeply embedded in the American character. His words capture the informal creativity and colloquial practice that marks folk tradition as it extends from the countryside to the city and back again.
Stephen Wade recounts creators and conservators like Doc Hopkins, many of them born in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth. The figures include Sid Harkreader, Kirk McGee, Ola Belle Reed, Jewel Fagan Haynes, Cordell and Olean Kemp, Bill Monroe, Helen Marie Rowe, Virgil and Mabel Anderson, Joe and Odell Thompson, John Jackson, Huddie Ledbetter, Uncle Dave Macon, Dorris Macon, Raeburn Flerlage, David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Jim Schwall, Archie Green, Lloyd Lewis, Thaddeus Willingham, Jack Conroy, and Fleming Brown. As Will Keys, another of the musicians featured here, once told the author about his way of playing, it’s “AWYC, Any Way You Can.” These individuals and their stories demonstrate how folklore offers a way of understanding the world.
Thoughtfully written, filled with original research, and abundantly illustrated with both color and black and white photography, Our Common Life illuminates the truth that creative freedom within informal tradition, fundamental to the artists and their processes, speaks to a resourcefulness inscribed in the nation’s founding charter and expressed in its common life.
