Thank you!
Thanks to everyone who came out to share music with us last night! It made us even more grateful for our recovery from the flu ...finally abating enough to allow us to make an hour or so of music with such truly wonderful people!

Faculty Performance: Jim Dalton and Maggi Smith-Dalton

Studio 401
Take a sometimes haunting, sometimes amusing, musical journey through America's past with A Celebration of American Music 6,
featuring a performance on voice, guitar, mandolin and banjo. Enjoy the
Daltons' trademark varied palette of styles as they carve a broad path
through the American past, from 18th-century ballads to 20th-century

birthdays of Ralph Towner and Dan Emmett, honoring the cause of Women’s
Suffrage, the end of the War of 1812 and the Civil War, and musical
highlights from 1965!

And with no regulation of the advertising industry, manufacturers could claim pretty much anything.
