I had a Silvertone guitar with Black Diamond strings and 2 45's of Hank Snow. I would stand in front of the Bluebird Island for hours and hours and hours till my dad would just scream with agony over my bad notes. But when my Dad took me to Wheeling , West Virginia and the weekend Hayloft Jamboree with Wilma Lee and Stony Cooper I knew that music was going to be my life. And then it happened...I heard Woody and Cisco and Pete and I was hooked forever on Folk Music...Wow that feels so good to talk about it and remember the joy of singing along with Hank and it makes it all worth the doin'. Thanks Rick, for the opportunity to relive the old days in my mind..........The first song I sang in public was Hank William's "Ramblin' Man".. I could settle down and be doin' just fine....Til I heard a train comin' down the line.....and on and on and on.............
