A Weekend Making Music

I'm really excited to leave in an hour to participate in the weekend-long folk music gathering at Greenwood Furnace! I play guitar, and enjoy playing together with my husband (banjo & guitar) and son (fiddle), and meeting many other nice people and learning new tunes at this annual event (see http://folkgathering.com/index.html). I especially love old time music- the soulful, simple, rural music of the Appalachian region- it feels like 'home' to me, having heard my grandfather playing it as I grew up. He is the one who taught me to play guitar and to draw, and I feel a special kinship with him in both of these forms of artistic expression. And now I share this music with my own family!
