content: Roger Welsch, born and raised in Nebraska, taught German and folklore at Nebraska Wesleyan University. He authored "A Treasury of Nebraska Pioneer Folklore," containing materials collected by the WPA in Nebraska during the Great Depression, from which he has selected many of the songs on this recording. Reflecting Nebraska's history and heritage, he has grouped the songs under five headings: The Crossers, The Settlers, Immigrants, War, and Hard Times. Mr. Welsch accompanies himself on the 12-string guitar, banjo and autoharp, while being assisted by Terry Schmitt on the 6-string guitar. The recording was produced by KFMQ, Lincoln, Nebraska, "as a tribute to the Nebraska Centennial Celebration." Liner notes provide detailed historical background for each song as well as the lyrics.
