about

This rare and wonderful traditional song - about love, loss, wandering and finally returning to one's community - has long been a favorite of mine. It the as discovered in the 1940s by folklorists and campers at Camp Woodland, near Phoenicia, NY, who learned it from an old man named George Edwards.

Happy Traum was smitten by American folk music and began playing guitar and 5-string banjo as a teenager. He was an active participant of the legendary Washington Square/Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1950s and ‘60s, and studied guitar with the famed blues master, Brownie McGhee.

A first-rate fingerstyle guitarist and singer, he has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan, both as a soloist and as a member of various groups. His avid interest in traditional and contemporary folk music has brought him recognition as a performer, writer, editor, session musician, teacher and recording artist.
