Episode Summary

Episode 3 is out and our hosts have a conversation about the music they heard growing up in Missouri and Maritime New England. Along with talking about the historical situations that helped the music in those areas develop, they also discuss how what and who they were exposed to musically helped shape their personal music experience. VOICES FROM THE VERNACULAR MUSIC CENTER, hosted by Chris Smith and Roger Landes, with funding from the Texas Tech University Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation. Join Roger and Chris as they range across the centuries and around the worlds of oral-tradition music and dance, with guests along the way!
