The Appalachians represented one of America's first frontiers, and frontier music became one of the first truly American forms of musical expression. Based on traditional fiddle tunes, *Appalachian Journey* combines four folk songs, providing players and the audience with a real toe-tapping treat! The melodies included are: "After the Battle of Aughrim" and "Lord Mayo I," both Irish in origin, and "Bonaparte Crossing the Rocky Mountains" along with "Whiskey Before Breakfast," adapted from the old-time fiddling tradition.
