Listen to this compilation as if you were Mr. and Mrs. Lyman, taking a break from the daily tasks necessary to keep your tobacco farm running in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, 1940. Of course, being tobacco farmers you would probably take your seat with pipe in hand, smoking the fruits of your labor while listening to the folky, happy and sometimes sad melodies of countrymen from your future. But you would notice the links to the past, and you would probably appreciate that.
