Return to EJ Page

The Shoe Tunes, a chorus of 80 + voices, and other musicians from across the Greater Binghamton area perform songs from vintage EJ Workers Chorus repertoires and today.  They recreate an E J Workers Chorus concert, a Sunday concert in En Joie Park, and showcase songs of the nationalities drawn to the Triple Cities by the Endicott Johnson Corporation (Czech, Irish, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian).

The liner notes include a contextual essay - E J and its Music -  by noted labor historian, Mel Dubofsky, Emeritus Professor of History, Binghamton University.
