LIFE'S COVER: LISTENING TO FOLK SONGS. The little girl on LIFE'S cover this week is Becky Carol Robin, who, along with hundreds of neighbors from the Great Smokies, went to hear the sing. tng and watch the dancing at Asheville, N. C.'s festival of mountain music (p. 63 -- 66). Becky lives on Bailey Mountain in nearby Madison County. Deeply absorbed by the oldtime square dancing, Becky left her place in the audience, wandered up to the stage and rested her diminutive chin on the edge of the dance floor, where LIFE Photographer Gene Smith, beguiled by her rapt expression, took this picture of her and the one on page 64.
