Description
|
|
|
|
Few books document music-making by frontier America families as thoroughly as the autobiographical "Little House" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957). Her reference point was Charles "Pa" Ingalls, a born entertainer who missed few occasions to sing and play his fiddle, an instrument that accompanied the family through times good and bad. We know the names of many of the tunes he played, where he played them, for whom, and why he chose them. Great American songs on the CD include "Buffalo Gals," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "Polly Put the Kettle On," "Life, Let Us Cherish," "All the Blue Bonnets," "Golden Years Are Passing By," "Boatmen's Dance," "Mary of the Wild Moor," "The Campbells Are Coming," "Haste to the Wedding," "Jesus Holds My Hand," and many more.
