What an important and wonderful evening... there is so much to be done... Genie and I were there with one of our bandmates, and another Quaker couple... Charles, an older member of our Meeting said that Jean's performance brought him back to listening to her decades ago... ( and you were WONDERFUL last night! ) I'm writing up notes on the important message about what the loss of Appalachian mountain tops has on us all... but on a musical note... the music was just wonderful last night, a really wonderful sampling of the living musical tradition in Appalachia. Jean sang a song she wrote... a wonderful hymn to the earth and humanity which I will teach the kids in our First Day School (Quaker Sunday school)... and of course the great, "Shady Groves..." well more on this later...
Thanks again Jean for letting us know about this evening
