Started in 2017, this ongoing series is dedicated to preserving the stories of those that "pass on the flame" of Traditional Music: Ethnomusicologists and Folklorists speak to the history and roots of the genres that contribute to Old-time music, including regional styles. Guitar, banjo and violin builders discuss and demonstrate their commitments to tradition. Music publishers and authors speak to their specific areas of knowledge. As you'll quickly see, the Traditional Music Community is filled with dedicated, caring artists and craftsmen, academics and preservationists. They all share a deep common love for Tradition... and strive to pass its history and joy on to others (both present and future).
