Lynn found 136 songs among the papers of the National American Woman\u2019s Suffrage Association and the National Woman\u2019s Party in the Library of Congress, among other notable archives. Taking from songs which represent a wide variety of topics and genres, Lynn wove together the story of women\u2019s suffrage from the beginning, at the first Women\u2019s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls in 1848, to the ratification of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution in 1920. She also included the voices and perspectives of Jewish women, women of color, and immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan Duggan was an integral part of arranging the songs for instruments, accompanying Peggy on hammered dulcimer, banjo, guitar, and piano.&nbsp;<em>Singing for Suffrage<\/em>&nbsp;includes new lyrics written by suffragists to songs such as&nbsp;<em>My Country Tis of Thee, Red, White, and Blue, Auld Lang Syne, Oh Susanna!<\/em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em>Marseillaise.<\/em>&nbsp;Other songs from the 1910s were found on sheet music and were known as parlor songs. There\u2019s even an anti-suffrage song which, with tongue in cheek, warns, \u201cDon\u2019t marry a suffragette!\u201d The variety of music and instrumentation in this program makes it as entertaining as it is educational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peggy Lynn is known for her ballads of Adirondack women, bluesy originals, and songs about nature. She is the co-author of&nbsp;<em>Breaking Trail: Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks,&nbsp;<\/em>and is the recipient of the Adirondack Mountain Club\u2019s Arthur E. Newkirk Educator award. She has several solo albums, four recordings with her husband, Dan, and two recordings with their trio Jamcrackers.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.quercusmusic.com\/\">www.quercusmusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan Duggan won the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship in Winfield, Kansas. His children\u2019s album&nbsp;<em>Pieces of Our Life<\/em>&nbsp;was chosen for the Parent\u2019s Choice Award, and he contributed a hammered dulcimer track to Paul Simon\u2019s album,&nbsp;<em>You\u2019re the One<\/em>.
