We'll be doing a performancee in conjunction with a museum presentation of the painter Winslow Homer. We would like your help in suggesting some songs that we might do. Homer painted a lot of seascapes and fly fisherman, sponge divers in the New England area and in the Carribean and the Bahamas, and Canada as well as the Adirondacks. Any help you can give us would be gratefully received. Thanks, Frank and Mary |

Where will the concert be? Songs in the DT that I can think of right off the top of my head: Blow, ye winds in the morning Rolling Home (to old New England) Springfield Mountain (just to bring it inland a bit! I'm trying to think of a good regional song to illustrate "Snap the whip". |

(kidding! really!) might i suggest the Frostiana Song Series? written by randall thompson, they are beautiful musical renditions of robert frost's poems. excellent new englandy ones like "Stopping By Woods on A Snowy Evening" and "The Road Less Travelled" evoke our puritan, yankee"ness" quite accurately! ~bleedingheart |
