Songs Along the Mohawk
Retreat us to those fabulous days of yesteryear when every busting village had an opera house and
– performers journeyed from town to town to delight each eager audience. And everybody knew the words to
“Bonnie Eloise.”
“Songs along the Mohawk” is a free cabaret-style entertainment with singer Byron Nilsson and pianist Malcolm Kogut sharing songs and stories from and about the 19th- and early 20th-centuries, including Erie Canal songs and vaudeville numbers, alongside some amusing contemporaneous material, such as Mark Twains fraught relationship with George W. Elliott, lyricist of “Bonnie Eloise.”
When the Erie Canal opened for business in 1825, revolutionizing the shipment of goods, it turned New York City into a major port center and caused the population of Buffalo to skyrocket. “The E-ri-e Canal” is the humorous saga of a treacherous trip aboard a canal-boat, while “Boating on a Bullhead” celebrates a common hazard, also acknowledged in the well-known “Low Bridge, Everybody Down.”
All this and more is on tap, offered by two veterans of the cabaret stage: Byron Nilsson and Malcolm Kogut. The program is free.
Glen Conservancy Hall is at 1538 State Highway 161 in Fultonville (Glen) NY.
