SUMMARY:Songs of Our Forest Heritage - All Things Appalachia speaker series
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Our Forest Heritage program description \nThe music of the mountains taps into traditional Appalachian lifeways which are so dependent on our natural resources\, the wonder and beauty of our forests and our relationship to them. Listen to songs both old and new performed with folk-style vocals and guitar\, and explore the connection between these songs and the culture of the Appalachian people with Cindy Neal Carpenter. \nCindy Neal Carpenter bio \nAn interest in traditional ballads\, native plants\, and ethnobotany led Cindy Neal Carpenter in 1979 from Plainfield\, New Jersey to her first US Forest Service job in Asheville\, North Carolina. As a rookie interpreter with the Forest Service at Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area in 1980\, she presented campground programs of Southern Appalachian ballads she learned from recordings and books. After singing in a folk song competition in ballad-rich Madison County\, NC\, a judge told her that if she didn’t win it was because she didn’t have a mountain sound. She won. \nSince then\, Cindy has integrated her music avocation into her heritage interpretation vocation. As a park ranger at the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site\, she interpreted the poet’s life and times through the folk songs the poet collected in his book\, The American Songbag. From 1989 through March 2018 she worked for the US Forest Service\, Pisgah National Forest\, most of those years managing the conservation education and interpretation programs at the Cradle of Forestry in America heritage site. From 2003 to 2018 she produced the Cradle’s Songcatchers Music Series that showcased traditional music and the artists who preserve it\, share it\, and make it their own. \nThe Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage selected Cindy to participate in the 2005 National Folklife Festival that celebrated the Centennial of the USDA Forest Service. During the two-week festival on the National Mall and a live streamed concert on the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage\, she and her folk guitar shared songs to connect people from all over the world to our nation’s forest heritage and to encourage stewardship of our public lands. \nHaving “graduated” from her career with the Forest Service\, Cindy plays locally with the East Fork Gals and Outside Dogs old time bands and the Pearls duo. She continues to nurture her passion for connecting people to places\, memories and ideas through folk style music while enjoying her home in beautiful and inspiring Transylvania County. \nAll Things Appalachia is a monthly program series at the Transylvania County Library exploring the people\, natural world\, culture\, and history of the southern Appalachian region.  Presenters include experts in the fields of history\, ecology\, outdoor recreation\, and more.   The programs are on the first Thursday evening of most months at 6:30 pm in the Rogow Room.  Each program lasts approximately one hour. These free programs are supported by the Friends of the Library
