EUGENE–A lively presentation of American folk music combining musical performance with stories and commentary will be featured Wednesday, Nov. 18, during the weekly MusEvenings! program set from 5—8 p.m. at the University of Oregon Museum of Art, 1430 Johnson Lane.

Champion fiddler Linda Danielson and singer/guitarist Dianne Dugaw, a UO folklore professor, will present " ‘Where’d You Come From, Where’d You Go?’: Folk Songs and Fiddle Tunes in America" at 6 p.m. The public is invited and admission is free.

"Where’d You Come From, Where’d You Go?" explores the rich mosaic of musical folk culture produced in rural America. The program features a kaleidoscope of traditional tunes–old American and British ballads, cowboy songs, blues, folk hymns and spirituals.

The program is sponsored by the UO Museum of Art and is made possible by the Oregon Council for the Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

For more information about the program, call Lisa Abia-Smith, (541) 346-0966.
