Thread Name: No regional songs of the northern US ??
Subject: RE: No regional songs of the northern US ??
Right now I'm working on producing a CD of "Songs of the Pacific Northwest." This grew out of a workshop I did at Rainy Camp (Seattle Song Circle) last Feb. There are a lot of songs of this region (the upper left coast), but many haven't been recorded. Some are traditional, and some are composed by known authors (both old and new). These are sung by members of the Seattle Song Circle and other regional musicians, including some of the song writers. It includes classics such as "The Old Settler" (Acres of Clams) and "The Frozen Logger." The recordings are about 90% complete, and it should be out by late fall. I'll keep you posted when it appears.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
