Oral histories of Homemade Music Society now available online

Interested in folk music and the local folk scene? The Whatcom County Homemade Music Society has supported musicians and music in Bellingham for over thirty years. Between 2005 and 2007, Coty Hogue, then a student at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies, interviewed founders and members of the society, who shared many music-related memories dating from the 1960s to the present day.

Interview transcripts can now be accessed and enjoyed online as part of Western Librares Digital Collections. A complete guide to transcripts and audio recordings archived at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies is available.
