“Fragments of What Once Was” Photography by John Cropley
Modern-day ruins dot the landscape around us, some of them hidden and some in plain sight. I seek out these places and try to capture a sense of what they are now and what they once were, what they once meant. Some reflect only that fading past but others teem with new life as nature reclaims them.

Two-time SAMMY winners, Delaney Brothers Bluegrass is one of CNY's oldest and best-loved bluegrass bands. More than just bluegrass, their music is influenced by many other acoustic traditions such as country, folk, gospel, and Celtic. From the smooth, warm vocals of lead singer John Delaney and tight harmonies with his son Jonathan, to Nick Piccininni’s smokin' banjo and fiddle playing, fans are treated to a musical experience that sets toes to tapping! About the Music Hall: In existence for more than 30 years, the Oswego Music Hall offers mostly acoustical musicians every other Saturday night from September to June. On concert evenings, a large empty hall is transformed into an intimate venue replete with candlelit tables, professional staging and sound; as well as an array of freshly baked desserts, hot cider and freshly brewed coffee.
