i'm not an accomplished musician, just an appalachian girl passing along the mountain songs i love and grew up with.... and also helping spread awareness of the assault on our beautiful mountains and the Appalachian way of life by Coal Companies and Mountaintop Removal mining....
I spent quite a bit of time with Grover. I learned a really neat modal tune from his playing. Last time I saw him was a few years ago in Elkins and he didnt remember me or the tune... His bowing was/is great! His quick almost violent bowstrokes were an influence on me.
Thanks! It was kind of a throw-away tune I was messing about with, so I thought I'd put up as a free download. How's everything going with you? Is the sun still hiding away?
Help save the Honey Bees by planting some of these lovely flowers in your garden.

The following flowers and plants will attract the attention of honey bees and humans alike: lavender, glory bushes, jasmine, rosemary, coreopsis, violets, wisteria, bluebells, trumpet vine, sunflowers, cosmos and cone flowers.....we must do something!!!
Thanks, of course, for the Add, darlin'. There's something so plaintive and lonely about the dulcimer like a songbird that has escaped the hawk's talons. It's alive but that pain is a close companion. Your part of the country is rife with songs and odes of the melancholy, the still hopeful, the hardscrabble brand of a wry smile where faith is the only weapon against the inevitability of a changing future. Thanks for the weathered music you instill with new passion and affectionate memory. Be well, good sister, be well.
Thankyou very much for replying to my request. Your music is type of suff we play when we go into the mountains or woods, it's great outdoor's. Thanks for bringing your outdoor's into my life. Love and best whishes from Ireland, Michael.

Hello BlueMountain Music, Thank you for sharing your traditions with all of us that stop by your myspace page.
