Pat Dunford

Pat Dunford is a musician and record producer who, with musicologist Art Rosenbaum, made field recordings of traditional musicians across Indiana in the early 1960s. The two compiled the 1964 album Fine Times at Our House: Indiana Ballads, Fiddle Tunes, Songs, featuring twenty songs and tunes drawn from those recordings, including performances by fiddler John W. Summers. The album presented traditional Indiana music at a time when collectors of old-time music had largely overlooked the state.
