Oh That Low Bridge CD brings you 15 songs from the golden age of America’s canals. Life, work and travel on the canal are recreated in this excellent collection of songs by performer and music historian George Ward. Carefully researched with detailed notes, this authentic song collection is a must for anyone interested in the traditions and folk culture of America’s canals.
   All Our Brave Tars; British and American Songs from the Age of Fighting Sail. A masterful historical presentation from the man who gave us similar musical studies of the Erie Canal. Here George explores the ballad traditions of the great seafaring conflicts of the 17th and 18th centuries. Would that all of our history lessons could be taught in such a fascinating way!
