  WHAT'S NEW? "YOU ARE GIFT"
"WHEN YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE"  I've been a bit surprised at the number of people who've been touched by the cover of my CD. I chose that old cabin because it evokes the memory of old Appalachia, the first home for so many of our ancestors in this country. "Keep on the Sunny Side", to me, is the epitome of Traditional american (Appalachia) folk music. It was written by A. P. Carter, who hailed from an Appalachian musical family headed up by their matriarch Maybelle Carter (or "Mother Maybelle). Their work is considered to be the beginning of bluegrass country music in this country. Kelsie Westfall of Cecilia, Kentucky, played all of the bluegrass instruments on this song. "I have put in front of you life and death, 'Keep on the Sunny Side' lyrics My Old Kentucky Home Stephen Foster wrote this song in 1853. "Stephen Foster occupies a unique position in the history of music, not only of America, but of the world. No other single individual produced so many of those songs which are called "folk-songs," by which is meant songs that so perfectly express the mood and spirit of the people that they become a part of the life of all the "folk" and speak as the voice, not of an individual, but of all. So completely do the "folk" absorb these songs and adapt them to their own uses, that the individuality and frequently even the name of the originator is completely lost, thus giving rise to the erroneous idea that a "folk-song" is a song created not by an individual but by a community." Harold Vincent Milligan 1919
"My Old Kentucky Home"eventually became the official state song of Kentucky. With a few vocal embellishments, this was played directly from Stephen Foster's original melodic composition. Therese Holmes played the piano for "My Old Kentucky Home"which was recorded in Louisville, Kentucky.

FAMILY FARMS form the bedrock of traditional american culture. Please support local farming by purchasing your produce from a local farmer whenever possible at farmers' markets, etc. Not only does this help the local farming family, but cuts down on your "carbon footprint" by reducing the demand for trucks delivering foods from thousands of miles away, clogging the environment with dangerous toxins which contribute to global warming.
