Thread Name: Review: Music of Early California
Subject: RE: Review: Music of Early California
I know of another historical reference book--a collection of music from the mining days and camps. It is by Chris Bayer from Carson city, nevada, called A Miner's Farewell.
Chris sometimes gives talks on early Nevada pioneers, including Major Ormsby founder of Carson City, and he also is active in the Bluegrass organization there as well as children's theater projects, contra dancing , etc.
