Ed Swanzey (Goldrush)
I spent a lifetime in the musical arts, I performed professionally on several instruments, in almost every style of music. I was born in a music studio, and participated in family sings for many years. I love the old songs, and have specialized in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. I have coupled this with my love for the California gold rush history, and want to give some of it to you. I hope you like it!
