Old Time Music Makers of New York State

Ask an old-timer what life was like in rural upstate New York during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
and you will hear about the dances and bees that brought villagers and farmers together. You will hear of favorite fiddlers who held center stage with dance tunes taken from early British and American sources. You will hear of old-time music and its significance to a people making the transition from a rural, agricultural life to an urban, industrial one.
