The New Golden Ring

An informal gathering of folk singing friends who simply enjoy singing and playing together, rather than an established group of specific individuals. The second set of recordings were recorded at a 5+ day marvelous musical marathon with many singers and guests staying at the home of Sandy and Caroline Paton, a remodeled barn in Sharon, Connecticut. Music was made together for a week or so and recorded. These were not exactly well-controlled recording situations. Microphones were set up, levels set and buttons were pushed before the engineer took up his pace in the chorus. There would often be experimenting with harmonies on a new song while scrubbing pots and pans during food breaks. Members reformed in somewhat smaller gatherings for further recordings: Sharon Mountain Harmony: 9316994 Twos On a Night Like This: A Christmas Legacy For All the Good People, A Golden Ring Reunion.
