Kitchen Tunks and Parlor Songs

In the 1980s, Mark Greenberg interviewed and recorded old-time, grassroots Vermont musicians and produced both a video documentary, The Unbroken Circle in 1985 and a CD anthology, Kitchen Tunks and Parlor Songs in 2003.
In this presentation, he discusses collecting oral histories in Vermont, examines how earlier music survived in the twentieth century, and considers how the music was affected by social and technological developments.
