Through The Stalks: A Song History
"Through The Stalks" appears in DulciFlute 3, John and Karen Keane's collection of fourteen pieces for Native American flute and mountain dulcimer, published by Fingers Of Steel; the cover names it the Town & Country Edition.[1] According to the listing, players need a B-minor flute and a dulcimer set to D-A-D.[1] The two sample pages on the listing, both for other tunes in the book, carry the byline John and Karen Keane; the page for this piece is not among them.[1] In the table of contents the piece sits on page 12 with two recordings, CD track 4 and track 18, the latter under a column headed "Instrumental."[1]
Charles François Daubigny, Path Through the Grain Field, cliché-verre, original impression 1862, printed in 1921. Shown for its path through tall grain; it has no connection to the tune.
John and Karen Keane, both of Shreveport, Louisiana, each hold a degree in music education from Northeast Louisiana University, since renamed the University of Louisiana-Monroe.[2] On mountain dulcimer, Native American flute, ukulele and cajon they cover Louisiana traditional music, folk, bluegrass, comic novelties and Delta blues.[2] Their DulcimerDownloads biography calls them active composers with several books and CDs of original dulcimer and flute music to their name.[2]
