Temperance Hall Orchestra and vocalist, c1918 Most immigrants enjoyed music, and those who could sing or play
an instrument were in great demand at church, at dances, and at special events.
Hearing live performances of the old, familiar tunes from childhood brought pleasure
and comfort to many in the days before recorded sound, even though the available
talent sometimes resulted in unusual combinations. The female vocalist pictured
above was accompanied by two violins, a clarinet, and an acoustic guitar. Previous | Photo Album Home | Next
