Beginning in 1995, when the Old Songs Dutch
Barn was completed at the Altamont Fairgrounds, Bill Houston
began recording the festival workshops held there. The acoustics
and the atmosphere of the barn enhanced some wonderful performances.
The audience, which changed for each workshop, participated
with such enthusiasm that we were inspired to issue this CD
from the 50-some workshops Bill recorded up to that time.
