The Day Is So Long And The Wages So Small: Music on a Summer Island
In the summer of 1958 Samuel Charters and Ann Danberg travelled to Andros, an "island on the wrong side of the wind" in the Bahamas. They were drawn to this remote location by a song, so rich and startling in its resonance that they followed it to its source.
In The Day is so Long and the Wages so Small Charters recalls the unique experience of this incredible summer. Living within the small yet vital community descended from a handful of Bahamian slaves, Charters and Danberg discovered the pleasures and the harsh realities of island life.
