Here's a vlog from FHO member Mitch Reed, who shares three tunes he learned during an epic trip in the mountains back in 2016.
Mitch says, "Back in 2016, I spent a week in the mountains documenting connections between Appalachia and Acadiana. Here are a few tunes that came down during the Spanish Land Grants."
