Saturday, November 5th is your
last chance to see the Barn Again and Windsor
Shade Tobacco exhibitions at Windsor Historical Society
and a special closing event is planned. Adults and children
of all ages are
invited to join Maryland ballad singer Judy Cook as she
presents “Whoa Back Pig! Songs of Farming and Animals” at 2
p.m. on November 5th. Why smear sheep with a
mixture of tar and rancid butter? How did a rejected colt
become a winning racehorse? What happens when an old cow
tries to sing? All this and more will be revealed in a
program that delights listeners with images and stories in
song and plenty of great choruses to sing along.
Judy Cook is well known in the folk singing
world on both sides of the Atlantic. Singer Lou Killen
says, “Judy Cook is one of the finest exponents of ballad
singing that the current American folk music revival has
produced. Her depth of understanding and story-telling
ability in ballad form is rivaled only by her dedication to
the music and her willingness to do her research. But all
that aside – I’d go and listen to her anytime and anywhere.”
The cost is $6 for adults, $5 for senior and
students, $15 per family with Windsor Historical Society
members admitted at $4 apiece. Parking is available in the
Windsor Discovery Center Parking lot and around Palisado
Green. Refreshments will be served. Put this event on your
calendar: you can’t help but have a good time!
