Hi Stephanie from South Dakota!
 
Georgia is also hosting the N. H. exhibit in 2012 and we are pretty much in
line with Ohio and Kansas. Our scholar is Ann McCleary - a public historian
- from the Center for Public History, University of West Georgia- who also
worked with us on Key Ingredients. She had conducted roots/musical programs
(her Center has produced several CDs on Georgia roots music- in conjunction
with some concerts they presented). In addition, we are putting together an
advisory board consisting of some folklore people and others with a musical
background.
 
If you want to stay in touch with me - I would love to share some more
ideas.
 
Regards,
Arden

Hi Stephanie, 

I'll answer since Dan's out of of the office.

In Kansas we used Dr. Steven Kite, a public history professor at Fort Hays
State University.  Steven is also a musician and has an area of expertise in
American music history.  He was the perfect fit for us.

Hello all,
Our state is hosting New Harmonies in 2012, so I'm in the process of
searching for scholars and host sites.  For those states who have already
had the exhibit, is it best to look for scholars with Music Ed. backgrounds
or is there another discipline I should be focusing on?
Thanks for your help!
Stephanie
