Some of the songs on this CD are founding period, though others drift into the 19th Century. This music seems to be mostly originating with the Calvinist branch of the Protestant family. The authentic performance techniques/sounds are both moving and intriguing. > >best >Juliet Waldron >Independent Heart >www.hardshell.com<http://www.hardshell.com/> >www.fictionwise.com<http://www.fictionwise.com/> >www.julietwaldron.com<http://www.julietwaldron.com/> > > > > >==== AMERICAN-REVOLUTION Mailing List ==== >To unsubscribe from the AMERICAN-REVOLUTION list, send the command "unsubscribe" to >[email protected] (if in mail mode) or >[email protected] (if in digest mode.) > >============================== >Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your family and the >areas they lived.
