There was a free concert on the lawn at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site that Theodore Roosevelt probably would have loved. The Sagamore Hill Band and the Roosevelt Songbirds performed 16 songs at “Teddy’s Wonderful World,” with some dating back to 1903.
The band and songbirds, which formed in 1983, are an ensemble of professional musicians dedicated to the preservation and presentation of music dedicated or connected with Roosevelt and his Oyster Bay Cove home. They have recorded three CD’s of Theodore Roosevelt music. The crowd that assembled to hear the concert may not know about the recordings, but they may be inspired to purchase them after enjoying the concert.
