Description:
Lee Murdock has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes region. There is an amazing timelessness in this music. Great Lakes songs are made of hard work, hard-living, ships that go down and ships that come back. The music is grounded in the work-song tradition from the rugged days of lumberjacks and wooden sailing schooners. This concert, brimming with Illinois and regional history, can be adapted for young audiences, for adult programming and for all ages. Murdock has released 16 CDs and two books, including Lake Rhymes, Folk Songs of the Great Lakes Region.
Other: From Auld (Old) Sod to New Prairie: The Irish in America:Songs of Irish Immigration in Illinois: Weaving music with stories, Lee Murdock creates a compelling story of Irish immigrants in Illinois. As they came to America to build new lives in a foreign land, they were also essential hands in building the canals, railroads, and towns that became Illinois and America. Both traditional ballads and modern historical songs are featured in this illuminating presentation.
Also an excellent program for geneological societies, this program is rich in stories of family history.
Great Lakes Ghosts: Supernatural legends and spooky tales of ghost ships, haunted lighthouses and other unexplained phenomenon of the Great Lakes. Perfect for holiday or year-round. Lighthouse Legends: Like the great castles of Europe, there is an aura of mystery and romance surrounding the lighthouses on the inland seas. Lee’s songs and stories share the tragedy and the heroics, the isolation and the beauty of lighthouse lore and the U.S. Life Saving Service.
