An endeavor devoted to the preservation of Grover's ancestral music and the accompanying historical narrative.
-
This is a free resource to over two hundred English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh folksongs and ballads sung and passed down through generations of Grover's own family. Immersed in traditional music and raised in a large musical family, Grover's collection delivers a broad range of songs Grover learned and sang in rural Nova Scotia in the late 1800s. The songs are available in downloadable pdf form, and the family stories, some dating back to the late 1700s, are presented in a podcast series that shines a light on the lives of very ordinary, hard working people and the music that entertained and sustained them.

There is more music yet to be included on this site. Library of Congress recordings (songs and fiddle tunes), and podcasts will continue to be added in the coming weeks, so please come back to hear more.
