This week, the Ozark original traditional folk trio “Harmony” recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with this talented trio.

Harmony has been a mainstay on the Ozark Folk Center Stage for almost a half century. Their vocals, as one might suspect, center around stellar three part harmony. The group features the talents of Ozark Highlands Radio host Dave Smith on vocals, guitar and fiddle among other instruments. Rounding out the trio are husband & wife duo Robert and Mary Gillihan who both sing and are multi instrumentalists as well. Mary plays both bass and autoharp, while Robert covers the guitar and mandolin.

Author, folklorist, and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events, and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and an enduring legacy of music and craft. This episode focuses on the population and cultural impacts of the Ozark Folk Center State Park on the Stone County, Arkansas region.

Mark Jones' “From the Vault” segment features a rare recording of talented Ozark original folk singer Kay Thomas, performing her arrangement of the traditional song “All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.
