Bennett's Songbook, a Working Archive of Songs
A living songbook for working, walking, rowing, and dancing, gathering sea shanties, folk traditions, story songs, and Bennett Konesni's originals.
Field notes
The archive organizes material around working and participatory contexts rather than treating songs as an undifferentiated playlist. Individual entries can preserve lyrics, audio, musical keys, performer credits, source history, and performance notes—for example, “Barnyard Polska” names three musicians, while “General Taylor” distinguishes rowing tempo from pub-session tempo. The collection also points outward to radio programming, conferences, and other performers, giving the songbook a documented social and regional context.
