<title>Hearing historic voices of freedom, again, through song</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21966/20130510/hearing-historic-voices-of-freedom-again-through-song</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 10, 2013) New music will be performed tonight and tomorrow in Saranac Lake and North Elba as part of the John Brown Day events.    Voices of Timbuctoo is a new work based on the Adirondack settlement of Black farmers in the mid-1800&apos;s designed to secure voting rights.  Abolitionist Gerrit Smith gave away 120,000 acres of his land, beginning in 1846, hoping the Adirondack wilderness would offer refuge to black families. Voices of Timbuctoo, is an oratorio written by western New York composer Glenn McClure.   It&apos;s part of what he calls a Musical Freedom Trail. Some of his other works written to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation have been performed in Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and later this month in Rochester.  McClure says his research for the oratorio included reading through diaries, letters and documents featuring the words of Gerrit Smith, John Brown, and the individuals who worked on the land that Smith had provided.  McClure told Todd Moe that these texts illustrate hope and promise.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 11, 2013) This weekend marked the close of Saranac Lake&apos;s 116th Winter Carnival.   One of the big draws every year is the home-made parade.Dozens of floats and marchers make their way through the heart of the village, in an event that&apos;s one part New Orleans Mardi Gras and one part backyard theater.The trick each year is to match the theme of the Winter Carnival as cleverly as possible, using materials that range from cardboard to old garbage can lids to yarn.

<title>A record season for counting birds in Saranac Lake</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21256/20130115/a-record-season-for-counting-birds-in-saranac-lake</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 15, 2013) Record numbers of bird species were counted recently during the Christmas Bird Count in the Saranac Lake area. Larry Master, longtime birder and wildlife photographer, says the Saranac Lake count broke a 47-year-old record for the number of bird species seen and the number of birders counting in the field. Fifty species were seen by 46 birders in the field, also a record for Saranac Lake.  Larry Master has been counting birds all his life. He took over compiling the Saranac Lake results in 1974. He says there was exciting birding news in the first week of the new year when a Common Pochard, a European duck, was sighted among several other very rare ducks, like the Tufted Duck and Barrow&apos;s Goldeneye, that gather near the Champlain Bridge at Crown Point.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20892/20121115/preview-robin-and-linda-williams-in-saranac-lake</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 15, 2012) Robin and Linda Williams are nearing their 40th anniversary of playing music together, and earlier this year released a new album, These Old Dark Hills.  It&apos;s filled with a dozen fresh new songs and rich harmonies, including musical tributes to well-loved dogs.Throughout their career, which has included many performances on A Prairie Home Companion, Robin and Linda Williams have thrilled folk and bluegrass fans alike. They&apos;ll bring their band and some of their new music to the Adirondacks this weekend with a concert at Pendragon Theater in Saranac Lake on Sunday night at 7 pm. The broadcast audio for this story incorrectly stated the concert time as 8 pm. NCPR regrets the error.  Todd Moe caught up with the duo by phone from their home in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. He asked them about the inspiration for their newest recording.
