True words, cousin.<br /><br />Brighid, this was one of the goals for retirement--to have more time to do things like that. The trick is figuring out how to afford it, esp with gas prices like they are. But for me this is like medicine, good medicine.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-29236598090642875502011-07-01T07:08:21.814-04:002011-07-01T07:08:21.814-04:00Wow, what a night.

So glad you were able to be there and enjoy the fellowship of friends and good times:)wvsimplicitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-34859147359122709602011-07-01T05:27:35.321-04:002011-07-01T05:27:35.321-04:00Sounds like a fabulous event to attend - I don'...Sounds like a fabulous event to attend - I don't write but I could sit and listen to mountain music with its fiddles and banjos for hours.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-20356222946338462632011-07-01T01:58:58.670-04:002011-07-01T01:58:58.670-04:00Looks like we were both posting about good, old-fa...Looks like we were both posting about good, old-fangled music at pretty much the same time. <br />"There's a circle of friends singing in harmony,<br />Holding each note as the darkness descends,<br />The song in our hearts will last till eternity,<br />Time slips away<br />But the song never ends<br />In a circle of friends.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-33126360834496037642011-06-30T23:11:41.162-04:002011-06-30T23:11:41.162-04:00It sounds like great fun.

Of course, traveling gets more complicated when income is limited and the body says "no!"<br /><br />Chip, it's an amazing week. If you are interested in writing or learning to play an instrument, it's a great place to go. Heat and humidity aren't usually an issue in Pocahontas county--most places there don't even have air conditioning because the temps stay pretty cool in the summer, rarely getting up to 90.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-91075282267643895772011-06-30T18:14:58.448-04:002011-06-30T18:14:58.448-04:00I'm adding this to my things to do file.

We're hoping the heat holds off for this year's Fiddler's Convention down in Galax, VA and Graham Fest at Major Graham's Mansion near Ft. Chiswell, VA. High heat and humidity aggravates my COPD but I always push the envelope as much as possible to enjoy some great music and people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812329358511747697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-22546716701894977752011-06-30T15:39:12.948-04:002011-06-30T15:39:12.948-04:00Sounds like you all had a grand ole time...wish I ...Sounds like you all had a grand ole time...wish I was able to travel more..I'd like to have been there for that.Gingerbreadshouse7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01285484153508538882noreply@blogger.com
