Sing Me Back Home: World Music in Western Massachusetts
from Michael and Carrie Kline, Talking Across the Lines · host Michael and Carrie Kline, Talking Across the Lines
Rick Rees, Michael Hoberman, Carrie and Michael Kline created this radio piece in 1993 for WFCR, Public Radio of Western New England. Michael Kline recorded the interviews and musical sessions that make up this production while serving as folklorist for the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society. With funding the Mass Foundation for the Humanities, we were required to write and read a somewhat analytical-sounding narration that follows an otherwise seamless flow of voices and music, as newer and older groups of immigrants discuss and play examples of a living, changing music, carried from other lands, preserved and evolved in the Connecticut River Valley.
