The theme for
Appalachian Weekend (Sept. 29th and 30th) 2006 will be “The Role of Music
in Appalachian Life”. To explore the
role of music in Appalachian life is to deal with music in the home, in
the church, and in community life. It is to look at music as
entertainment, as worship, and as a rallying force in efforts at social
change. It is to listen to the words and to know the circumstances
giving birth to the songs. We will invite not only performers of
authentic Appalachian music but also persons who know the history of the
music and its varied roles in the lives of people native to these
mountains.
