The album Lake George Musical Portrait was originally released in 1964 by folk singer Tedd Browne. The songs portray the history and legends behind the Lake George region and now it's been rediscovered.

"In my father's record collection downstairs going through the old albums I found Lake George Musical Portrait, so I put it on, I must have been about 14 years old, and I started listening to the songs about Fort William Henry and Fort Ticonderoga," said music publisher Mark Mason.

Then came the idea to re-release the album.

"And because of a fellow named Johnny Paycheck, a country and western singer, he covered one of my original songs, and that got me into BMI- Broadcast Music International, I was a published songwriter," said Mason.

And because of that, Mark could now start a publishing company, which he did, Weedgie Music. One of his projects was to convert the 1964 vinyl copy of the Lake George Musical Portrait to compact disc. At first it wasn't just a technical job, there were legalities involved as well.

"And I did the research of the copyright of the songs and then I copywrote not the album, but the CD is copy written because it's a whole separate animal along with the publishing rights that I have for the CD and the original songs," said Mason.

From there it went to getting the job done, converting the album from vinyl to CD. This was done by using a processor from Switzerland.

"Lo and behold we started processing the audio through it and tweaking it and we could recover the whole album intact retaining the original vinyl feel without removing that, I could have kept the actual sound of the vinyl but because it was mastered off the vinyl I wanted to retain that as well," said Silverstone mastering engineer Larry DeVivo.

In addition to Lake George Musical Portrait another album was restored to CD,LBJ A Musical Portrait,another sign of the importance of keeping history alive through music.

"Restoring old albums to let generations of people that have never heard them or didn't have a chance to hear them to learn and listen from them," said Mason.

"With the advent of computers and the software behind it, just about anything is doable today in recovering our history from the past," said DeVivo.

While bringing it to today's audience.
