There is an Appalachian folk song that I associate with Persephone. The connection is entirely in my head but it comes from the Josh Joplin song "10 Feet Small", which I have written about before.
I wanted to share some music on this blog today so I went to YouTube and searched Shady Grove. The coolest thing about the folk tradition is that there are so many version of the same song and each unique.
Here is an awesome version by Doc Watson:
Even the Stray Cats did a version:

Enjoy the music on this fine October morning!
