"Long ago, the sparkling fiddle tunes and haunting ballads of the British Isles came across the water, taking root in the hills of Virginia. They mingled with shape-note hymns and African spirituals – creating the soulful music we call Appalachian. The people of the mountains raise their communal voices in celebration of daily life– LOVE, SINGING, DANCING AND PRAYER."
The performers were:
Ross Hauck, tenor
Susanna Gilmore, fiddle
Kathie Stewart, flute
Tina Bergmann, hammered dulcimer
