- Follow the musical trail of folk collector Marjorie Lansing Porter as we explore gorgeous American vistas. In the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, Porter tirelessly recorded folk songs that were on the brink of disappearing. Now, contemporary singers and musicians honor her collection by re-recording these traditional tunes. Their efforts invite you to uncover the legacy of American miners, loggers and other folks who lived a hundred years ago, who together created a treasure chest of Songs to Keep. This program features music from a host of performers, including the Bacon Brothers (Michael and Kevin), and interviews with Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul and Mary), and many of the musicians who are giving a collection of old songs a brand new life. The documentary also showcases the final television interview of Pete Seeger, which he gave for this project just weeks before he passed away. Enjoy the history of our country as the catchy tunes echo across the breathtaking Adirondack mountains. Songs to Keep won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary at the 2014 Boston/New England Regional Emmy Awards.
