Website of the Week (WoW) #162: “W Is for the Woods”: Traditional Adirondack Music & Music Making

This site from Traditional Arts in Upstate New York features the heritage and legacy of traditional Adirondack music. Not only can you listen to recordings, but you can also see the sheet music and read about the singers and musicians. “From singing lumbermen and camp cooks to mineworkers, millwrights, farmers, homemakers, peddlers and children–and all the way back to the Mohawk Indians who hunted through the region centuries ago–music and life in northern New York’s Adirondack Mountains have long been intertwined.”
