Can you square dance while sitting down? Does the "catfish" really have the blues? Come on out for songs, stories & family fun. Experience the Rhythms & Rhymes of American folk music with Ed Mc Dade. Be ready for an inter-active, educational and entertaining, good time show. You'll be treated to stories from the Appalachian and American Indian tradition. You'll hear lots of great music, with classic American songs(some with a completely new twist) like Froggie went a courtin', Yankee Doodle, Oh Susannah, This Land is your land, etc. You'll discover a full range of ideas and emotions that are part of our musical tradition.
