During his Artists
& Communities residency with Step by Step, Inc. in Harts,
West Virginia, Millennium Artist Larry Siegel used family histories,
local legends, and personal narratives to create a new musical
work, "Bridge of Dreams." Drawing on the rich traditions
of the Appalachian region, the 'folk opera' was premiered mid-September
2000 at the inaugural Bridge of Dreams Festival in Harts. Above,
Harts resident Jimmy Workman developed much of the melody for
the song, "Digging With Your Hands," which is featured
in "Bridge of Dreams." All rights reserved.
