Website Topics

Because American music is so vast a subject, not all of it can be covered on this website. This is not intended to slight any other music, such as jazz, blues, gospel music or any other genre of music.

These five areas of vintage music were selected because it was felt
they were more in need of preserving their heritage:

New England Music

Shaker Music

Classical Composers

Film Music

Popular Songs
