Episode 3

Podcast #3 is chock full of stories depicting the lives of Carrie’s maternal and paternal grandparents and great grandparents, as branches of the family settle in at Sunken Lake during the first half of the 19th century. The podcast opens with Joan Baez singing Lily of the West, followed by folksinger Maria Gillard and fiddler Kit Fallon on Blind Beggar and Stormy Scenes of Winter. Folklorist and singer Stephen Winick performs Robin Hood and the Pedlar, and Paul Brady graces us with his famous Arthur McBride. Kate Marin relays the account of Carrie’s great grandfather’s escape from a press gang, and Carrie herself sings three songs: Servant Man, Sallie’s House, and Farmyard Song.
