Library presenting free virtual concert Saturday
The Siuslaw Public
Library will present
a free virtual concert
featuring
folksing-
er Adam Miller on
Saturday, Dec. 5, at 7
p.m., on the library’s
YouTube channel.
A local favorite,
folksinger and sto-
ryteller Miller, from
Drain, Ore., will be
performing his sing-
along concert of Tra-
ditional Folksongs of
the Winter Holidays.
With a virtual concert,
people can view live or they
can view it later. There is
no limit on the number of
times to view the concert,
nor is it limited to library
patrons.
The library encourages
all to share the link with
any family and friends who
would enjoy a winter folk-
song experience.
The easiest way to access
the library’s YouTube chan-
nel is to visit www.siuslaw-
library.info and click on the
(and
not-so-well-
known) folksongs and
carols for New Year’s,
Hanukkah, Christmas
and the Winter Sol-
stice.
Many of these songs
grew out of (and were
used in) the old-time

ebration — a season

With his resonant bari-

American English-speaking ence rapport, Miller is a
folk tradition; well-known masterful entertainer who
never fails to get his audi-
ence singing along.
Usually traveling 70,000
miles a year, from the Ev-
erglades to the Arctic Cir-
cle, performing live at over
2,000 American public li-
braries, Miller has been do-
ing virtual, online concerts
in this year of pandemic.
Miller began his lifelong
pursuit of collecting old
songs while still in grade
school. Armed with an au-
diographic memory and a
kaleidoscopic musical cu-
riosity, his childhood ambi-
tion was to learn every song
he heard.
Today, with a repertoire
of thousands of tunes, his
traditional folksongs and
ballads are the songs of
America’s heritage: a win-
dow into the soul of our na-
tion in its youth.
A performer who enlight-
ens as well as entertains, he
points out fascinating con-
nections between events in
history and the songs that
survived them.
