Thanks Robin, I feel the same way. I have become a fixture in the local festivals and Christmas programs for a bout 5 years now. Before Covid hit I was playing up to 130 days a year at either a nursing home, jam session or festival. If children are present, I encourage parents to let them come up and strum while I fret the notes to a tune they know. It makes my day if I can get a big smile from just one. The covered Bridge festival in 10 days draws about one million people thru the little town of Bridgeton and about 2 to 3 million in the area. The photo is at Fowler park where we normally have a mini Pioneer Days week for all 2nd graders in the county and then two full days of regular pioneer days in our village. It has 16 restored cabins with people living in them during those times. Then both the Park and town have Christmas programs and crafts, so I get a lot of exposure to the families, some who make it a point to bring the children to play.....candy covered fingers and all! I love it😊

Bill, this photo is priceless.
I have never seen a child who did not love music-- I think we were born to love it.
