Question: What American multi-instrumentalist took part in the Appalachian Journey?

The Sager orphans (sometimes referred to as the Sager children) were the children of Henry and Naomi Sager.  In April 1844 the Sager family took part in the great westward migration and started their journey along the Oregon Trail.  During it, both Henry and Naomi died and left their seven children orphaned.  Later adopted by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, missionaries in what is now Washington, they were orphaned a second time, when both their new parents, as well as brothers John and Francis Sager, were killed during the Whitman massacre in November 1847.  About 1860 Catherine, the oldest girl, wrote a first-hand account of their journey across the plains and their life with the Whitmans.  Today it is regarded as one of the most authentic accounts of the American westward migration. <SEP>  James Taylor and Alison Krauss join the trio individually on two Stephen Foster songs arranged for the trio.  Sony Classical released the disc in 2000. Appalachian Journey is the second album from the string trio of bassist and composer Edgar Meyer, fiddler and composer Mark O'Connor, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.  The album joined a number of other recordings released since "Appalachia Waltz" that continue a new kind of classical music tinged with and influenced by the sounds and structures of America's own musical traditions.  It is possible that the titles of these albums imply a continuity of the American classical tradition begun by Aaron Copland in Appalachian Spring.  Unlike their first album, the three virtuosos spent several months on the compositions and arrangements, from July 19 to September 10, 1999. <SEP>  His styles include classical, bluegrass, newgrass, and jazz. Edgar Meyer (born November 24, 1960) is an American bassist, multi-instrumentalist and composer.  Meyer has worked as a session musician in Nashville, part of various chamber groups, a composer, and an arranger.  His collaborators have spanned a wide range of musical styles and talents; among them are Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn, Yo-Yo Ma, Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck, Zakir Hussain, Sam Bush, James Taylor, Chris Thile, Mike Marshall, Mark O'Connor, Alison Krauss, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Guy Clark, and the trio Nickel Creek. <SEP> The 1900 Summer Olympics (French: "Les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1900" ), today officially known as the Games of the II Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event that took place in Paris, France, in 1900.  No opening or closing ceremonies were held; competitions began on May 14 and ended on October 28.  The Games were held as part of the 1900 World's Fair.  In total, 997 competitors took part in 19 different sports.  This number relies on certain assumptions about which events were and were not "Olympic".  Many athletes, among them some who won events, didn't know that they had competed in the Olympic Games.  Women took part in the games for the first time, and sailor Hélène de Pourtalès became the first female Olympic champion.  The decision to hold competitions on a Sunday brought protests from many American athletes, who travelled as representatives of their colleges and were expected to withdraw rather than compete on their religious day of rest.
