The Art of Field Recording
Most people think folk music as a thing of the past. It seemed to disappear in the sixties when rock and roll and the Beatles swept the music scene. But if you search hard enough, folk music and the musicians who play it are still around. Art Rosenbaum has made it his life’s work to find and record it. He’s become the Indiana Jones of folk music. Independent producer Philip Graitcer traveled with Rosenbaum to visit a few traditional musicians.
