John,
I hope the songs you've held in your heart through the years can ring again, be a balm to your spirit.
Mark informed me my DPN arrived-- I should get to see it come Sunday. :)
While Dan Landrum is a great photographer, he's no magician-- you made a handsome subject!

Our music teacher would also use the numbers One, Two, Three to the same tune while using a hand to demonstrate ascensending and descending notes.
It makes sense to include FOTMD so it can be searched. I don't know whether I'll remember to do it or not. ;)
The Henry Reed repertoire is treasure!
Though I never really got the B part of Poplar Pole nailed down, I love the tune.
Way cool. Thanks for that, Strumelia!
Wow!
I have music friends here in Ohio who first told me about a Mummers parade their hometown (not in Ohio). Had never heard of Mummers until then.
Happy anniversary, Sam!
Hope you are able to learn more about the instrument!
The instrument sure has a cool vibe-- I like it!
I just learned of Appalasia this year. :)
I am at a loss for words, John. . . And continue to hold you in my heart.
Thank you for the lovely posting, Lexie. I was saddened to learn of Oliver's death; the world has lost a good fellow! I pray for comfort for Sharon and all who knew Oliver.
It is with a heavy heart I tell you that John Henry's beloved, Mary, has died. John and his son Paul are both members here. I offer my deepest sympathy to John & Mary's entire family and pray for each to feel comfort midst their grief.
What a beauty! Enjoy!
Enjoy that Presnell, Sheryl!
Will keep my eyes open for a recording on that Stamper, Robin C!
Wow, Robin a warm, lovely tone! Nicely done.
Some wind instruments can sound rather strident but not your flute. :)
You & Lundy Island make a great team, Robin! :)
Your play sounds really good!
Other than standard guitar tuning, Mark also tunes to "Drop D" sometimes to give something of a droning quality to the guitar part. Don't know whether you've ever tried it or not but you might like experimenting if you've not yet played in this tuning.
Cool!
I wonder who was Karen Missavage?
Congratulations, Mark, on your win at Winfield!
You've got me afraid to watch, Strumelia! Haha!
Wow, that top is beautiful!
I wish I knew something about thie maker! Ohio's had lots of dulcimer makers doing really fine work. :)
Doggone, I missed that! Way cool. Thanks for the post, John!
@john-gribble I've never been on a commercial flight. So, I take your point. :)
Thank goodness the Amburgey arrived safely!
Golly, I don't know about Jeff's instrument, Rob; you'd know better than I do. I'm hoping to make it to the concert at Jerry Rockwell's fest yet may not know until last minute whether I'll get to go or not.
I'm glad you ladies enjoyed seeing Appalasia! I've ordered a cd. :)
Way cool, Randy!
Dave Rogers is featured bowing a Tennessee Music Boc built by John Knopf here:
Thanks for letting us know about this feature at Cigar Box Nation, Dusty!
