Billed as “Another Way of Learning Using Stories and Songs,” the
2007 event offers an up-close, hands-on experience. It will showcase
over 60 performers and demonstrators, including Native American
storytellers and dancers, cowboy poets, humorists and storytellers,
Texas singer/songwriters, chuck wagons, teepees and more. This
community event also includes a teaching packet for interested
educators (www.texasheritagemusic.org).
There will be a noon tribute to father of country music Jimmie
Rodgers, which will take place at the Robbins-Lewis Pavilion. Living
History Day 2007 lasts from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
From 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, the Texas Folklore Society will offer an
afternoon seminar and round-table discussion on many aspects of
Texas heritage. Both these events are free and open to the public. |
Capping off the day’s events is a concert by guest artist Duke
Davis, who will pay tribute to the cowboy through his unique
home-on-the-range experience. The public is invited to enjoy his
performance and a plate of supper—both served up fresh with a hearty
helping of stories and songs. The concert includes the cost of the
meal.
