Description:
The box labels this as a recording from 1970, however it sounds like a copy of reel 020 from 1972. Margaret MacArthur features first accompanied by her husband and possibly kids. Michael Cooney is the other artist to feature joined by a group of friends. It sounds like Cooney and his friends lead a sing-along. There is no MC.

Description:
Recorded at Fox Hollow 1972. The recordings feature Margaret MacArthur and family and Michael Cooney with friends. The MacArthur?s play a historically inspired song about Napoleon in a minor key in addition to other folk songs. They use an assortment of instruments including the hammered dulcimer, guitar, and fiddle. There is no MC introducing Michael Cooney and friends, the recording transitions directly into a song already in progress. Cooney leads both his friends and the crowd in a sing-a-long accompanying the vocals with a guitar.
