	Folksongs of the Catskills A Celebration of Camp Woodland As music director of Camp Woodland, outside of Phoenicia, NY, during the 1940s, Herbert Haufrecht helped collect the songs published in Folk Songs of the Catskills (Norman Cazden, Herbert Haufrecht and Norman Studer, eds., ©1982 by SUNY Press, Albany, NY). Geoff Kauffman worked with Herb’s widow, Betty, in 2000 to coordinate contemporary singers and recording dates to bring these songs to CD—songs of a mountain culture for which music remained important in everyday life. Artists include Pete Seeger, Bob and Louise DeCormier, Joe Hickerson, Kauffman, Ronnie Gilbert, Joanna Cazden, Happy Traum, Jay Ungar, Molly Mason, Mickey Vandow and Eric Weissberg. Songs include "The Arkansas Traveler," "The Maid on the Shore," "The Hills of Glenshee," and 14 more.` For a list of tracks, click on cover photo ITEM #203       CD      $15.00 Member Price      CD       $13.50
	Oh! That Low Bridge! Songs of the Erie Canal George Ward As George Ward wrote, "The building of the Erie Canal, through the wilderness of central New York in the years following the War of 1812, worked a transmutation on that wilderness, on the state itself, and on the course of United States history...Its opening in 1825 inspired a number of odes, marches, art songs and recitations. These were formal compositions, a high-culture celebration...At the same time, the canal spawned a subculture of toil...of human labor." The work of the boaters, the engineers, the diggers and others inspired the songs that tell the American legend of the Erie Canal. George Ward sings the songs, plays concertina, five-string banjo, six and twelve-string guitars and bass guitar.
