	Ashokan Farewell FAQ
		Ashokan is the name of a town, most of which is now under the Ashokan Reservoir, a very beautiful and magical body of water that is across the road from our home.
		Ashokan Farewell was named for the Ashokan Field Campus of the State University of New York (in the Catskill Mountains).
		Ashokan Farewell is also on our concert album, Civil War Classics and The Catskill Collection a compilation of music of the Catskill Mountains.

	Ashokan Farewell
		The area derives an added aura of mystery from the fact that eight local villages were inundated upon the creation of the Ashokan Reservoir in 1914.
		"Ashokan Farewell" (made famous by the Ken Burn's Civil War Public TV series) may not be a Civil War original, but the Ashokan area of the Catskill Mountains has a long a fascinating history, and includes some of the most beautiful land anywhere.
		I lived there for a time in 1968-9, and the mere mention of the name Ashokan moves something deep in my soul.
