Hello, Old-Time fans,

For those of you who couldn't attend Greg Hooven's funeral I wanted to let you know that impromptu Old Time music sprung up at his grave side after the services (with family permission). Thanks to Billy and Betty for the inspiration, and to Beth and Andy for solid backup. Dale Morris singing Rainbow Sign was the highlight - we know Greg loved that song. What could have been a better send off? I really felt all was right when I heard a fiddle play, dedicated to him. As Betty said, "This one's for you, Greg." And Logan County Blues rails on into the grey day...

with a weary sigh,
Sandy

As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the old-time music community and its being the place for me to be. To lose someone so talented and young, someone whose raw enthusiasm for his birth-rite traditions that someone like me (from the nawth) could envy and love at the same time, is very sad. He was the real deal. He's moved beyond his pain and is probably playing tunes with Tommy and Fred right now.
