Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lake George, 1922 (Teresina M. Huxtable)
Subject: Great Lakes
In the early 1980's I heard an album (I believe from Flying Fish) that consisted of songs by a group of 3 or 4 women from New England who sang songs that related to the region. I believe one of the last names used in the group's name was Huxtable or Constable. The songs probably spanned a time from the 1890's to the 1920's or so. One song in particular stuck with me as it told a story of sailing as youngsters on an excursion steamer on Lake George or Champlain. It was very descriptive and told about the scenery as well as the games they played, food they ate,etc. Does anyone know of this group or the recordings? Thank you.
