  20. Jesse James

    I love this tune and in 2011 I had the opportunity to record it with my cousin on Coffee Pond in Casco, Maine. We got together again in 2017 and played it again, same place, same crowd but I didn't record it. On this version I attempted to play the banjo and I embarrassed to say I haven't...

  21. Goodnight, Irene

    This is the tune that we sing at the end of our family jams. If my cousin Jim was with us he would add a verse of "Beautiful, Beautiful Brown Eyes". Still we did our best and I got to sing the verse about taking Morphine and dying. Thanks Leadbelly for such a great tune.

  34. Tony and Eddie Poltrack

    I made a recording of my dad and uncle singing a variety of old country music and other tunes on my Webcor tape recorder. It was nice to hear this music all my life and I continue to sing these tunes at our local music jams.

  35. Tony Poltrack Songs

    I grew up listening to my dad sing old country music and other tunes. In the 1960s I recorded some of it on an Webcor tape recorder. I still sing most of these tunes at local Music Jams, but he had the better singing voice.

  36. 1938 Family Recording

    Eddie, Fran and Tony Poltrack "Recorded Their Voice" at the 1938 World's Fair for their Mom. This is a medley of the tunes they sang. The 78 RPM record is in pretty bad condition, but these guys could sing.

  37. Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us

    My cousins sang this at the wedding of Marcia and Harrison Spiegelberg who were married August 19, 1972. One verse is sung in Hawaiian since Marcia and Harry resided in Hawaii.

  40. The French Song

    There is a strong French-Canadian influence in Central Massachusetts and it always great to hear this tune sung by the locals. The William Brothers sang this at one of our music jams in Gardner Mass. I wish I could learn to sing the French lyrics

  41. When The World's On Fire

    I didn't realize it at the time but the Woody Guthrie song "This Land is Your Land" was adapted from the older Carter Family Tune "When the World's on Fire" which we performed at a Church Service.

  42. Are You Washed in the Blood of the Lamb

    Pam Harris and the Gospel Bluegrass band at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Gardner Mass.
