Love your post Jennie!

"Myth" is completely believable but that it HAS attached itself to the Amish (or whomever) now makes it reality.

It is the beauty of folklore to make myths real. Tell a tale long enough and it is no longer a tale but a truth. I think how many myths surround some of the instruments..............Once believed and accepted, all the facts in the world will never convince some that their treasured belief is a myth. And sometimes the truth just plain gets in the road of a damn fine tale. Remember how depressed youwere when you found out that "Posh" did NOT come from "Port Out, Starboard Home?"***grin***
