techno klutz returns :D
there are a lot of resources here in western NY for canal info
info site about the Erie canal
and some folks who have a wealth of songs include George Ward, Lee Murdock and Dick Swain. The Dady Brothers, Joe & John, of Rochester have put out a cd entirely of canal songs that's well worth the listen.
Last summer, at the small township of West Sparta - as close to the middle of nowhere as any- they had a one day celebration that included a very nice presentation about the canal system and the smaller feeder canals of the area.
