Songs Of Our Mountains by Harold and Margaret Winter of Wee Loch Queen City Album, Co, - Cincinnati, Ohio WLR LP 101 MONO QCA 70517 November 12, 1966
From the back cover:
"Harold and Margaret Winters were born in the remote mountainous area of Western North Carolina. Their forefathers were among the first settlers in the southern mountains. The Winters are both from singing families, their music is a part of their life that they have known and loved from earliest childhood. Most of the songs that they sing were learned orally from their families and friends. They make their home at Wee Loch, Elk Park, North Carolina.
Margaret, author of "How To Play The Dulcimer," published by Boston Music Company, plays a Wee Loch Dulcimer designed by her husband. She and Harold have been associated with Jean Thomas, "The Traipsin' Woman" Founder and Director of The American Folk Song Festival, for the past twelve years. They were featured in the film "Bascomb Lunsford and His Friends," shown throughout the country on Educational Television Network. They are truly Folk Singers, not singers who make folk songs their business. They sing what they really know and they sing it well.
The Winters dislike leaving Wee Loch, even for short periods of time, however, they stay very busy making appearances in North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida. This, in addition to operating Wee Loch Mountain Crafts. Visitors to Wee Loch find the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable, there is always time for a chat and a song."
