Almost all of our tunes and songs are from the collections of Samuel Preston Bayard, who traveled throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania in the early to mid-20th century, preserving a musical heritage that otherwise might have been lost.
Our intent is to represent some of the music Bayard and his colleagues collected through the generosity of those older Pennsylvania fiddlers, fifers and singers. With your enjoyment (and ours) in mind, we hope to encourage other players in reviving some of this traditional music of our home state.
