    When Moe Asch died in 1986, his extraordinarily eclectic Folkways Records had put out 2,186 long-playing records, from Woody Guthrie to Ho Chi Minh, Leadbelly to Langston Hughes, jazz, gospel, Yiddish music, calypso, and instructional records like "Speech After the Removal of the Larynx." Most did not sell well, but at least one of them, Harry Smith's "Anthology of American Folk Music," set off a seismic shift in American culture.
