In my attempt to make posts to this site more relevant to the theme, I have pretty much been unable to direct the time needed to post such works.  With the internet unavailable at our house (other than satellite) I have been relegated to find available free wifi hotspots to post my updates.  As a result, as most of you know already, I post less frequently.

I had hoped to post an article here about McClurg but as the article began to take shape, I aspired to bring the article to a wider audience.  I am hoping to have the article which is titled “McClurg: The Tradition Continues” published in the Old-Time Herald. I have it almost finished as I have been adding little tidbits of information, as well as double checking information, I feel is pertinent.

Last night down at McClurg I was able to record HK Silvey playing which I hope to use as I begin developing a library of tunes which can be cataloged so one can find a particular name easily and pull its Audio file.

Also while down at McClurg we had a visitor which Gordon McCann brought from MSU.  Former Ladybears Coach Cheryl Burnett came down and visited and listened to the music as well as kicked up a jig dance while I was playing Grey Eagle on the fiddle…that was fun!

I have begun to play music at Bakercreek Heirloom Seed Company. They have invited me to be a regular musician to play in any location they need filled.  Also I am scheduled at the Ozarks Folk Center on April 17th at 2:45pm to play a set lasting 45 minutes. It is exciting to be able to play music and even more exciting to be able to play and make a few bucks also.

I hope to post more about what is going on at the farm another time.  So for now I will leave and say God Bless.
