Our fourth recording (2018) from the collections of Samuel Preston Bayard, who traveled throughout SW PA between 1928-63, visiting fiddlers, fifers and singers, and writing out over a thousand of their tunes and songs. “While we’ve focused previously on Bayard’s dance music with fiddle and banjo, The Snowy Hill<\/span> features the flute representing the region’s fife tradition.\u00a0“Formerly, just as Pennsylvania was thronged with fiddlers, so likewise she abounded in local fife-and-drum ensembles. \u2026 Once in great demand, the fifers and drummers played on every conceivable occasion of local interest” (Bayard, Dance To The Fiddle, March To The Fife<\/span> 1982)<\/p>\n
