Subject: RE: Folklore: Music of the NJ Pine Barrens
My band, the Woodlot Howlers, plays regularly at Albert Music Hall. We've been there since 1980. we are an "old time" band. We were lucky enough to learn some tunes from the Pineconers, a group of old time musicians descended from old time musicians in the Pines. A few of the tunes we learned from them are native to the Pine Barrens and unheard of in other areas of the country, but most of them are tunes that are common everywhere. PM me for my email address and we'll figure out a way for me to get you some tapes of my band playing some of the tunes we learned.
