When senior members of a community go into schools and talk about their lives and work, and children write songs with Larry Long about what they have learned, they create a remarkable celebration of humanity and hard work. In these 1995 recordings, Alabama elders talk about their lives, and children from eleven rural public schools sing compositions based on the elders' words.
