Hey M Ted, I'd like to get in touch with some of your friends. I'm a Mennonite (of the Russian strain) and when I was in school, I was about the only one who was interested in folk/old-time country/bluegrass/ and the like. Sorta felt like a fish out of water. In fact when I go to class re-unions classmates still tell stories on me that always seem to involve me playing guitar.

By the way, there's an old song sung in my ancestor's dialect about life on a Kansas farm and the hard weather, grasshoppers, etc. sung to the tune of "Beulah Land" called "Kaunsas Laundt"
