The story of the overgrown girl playing the upright bass broke my heart. So love it when kids get started loving old time music. That girl got the chance of her lifetime.

About 50 years ago, we lived for a good number of years near Piney Creek. Our daughter went to Piney Creek school and speaking of wonderful old-time music. I don’t remember how often but they’d be a big gathering of musicians at Piney Creek school playing banjos, fiddles , guitars , homemade wash pail base ,harmonicas, and whatever else somebody would think to bring. Everybody would be playing at once and then that magic flow would begin like a wonderful orchestra, but without the conductor, it would all come together everybody would feel it almost like an old-time mountain church that would get filled with the Holy Spirit. Wonderful times what wonderful memories I miss them.

A most interesting presentation on down home, mountain music history in a cross roads community of Alleghany County, NC. The blend of traditional mountain music, bluegrass, with a country music influence is a patchwork quilt of goodness to the ears. Thank you for working to increase the knowledge of the heritage of this region of the country. - Tennessee Smoky
