This lecture will feature nationally known folk musicians Cathy Barton and Dave Para from Boonville. For more than 25 years, they have specialized in the folk music of the Ozarks and Missouri, with an emphasis on the western border of the Civil War era. They have extensively researched and recorded the only compilation of Civil War music from the trans-Mississippi West. Cathy and Dave will discuss their research, the role of music in the war years, and play several examples of the tunes they have found. The event is free.
