Appalachian Folk Art

sell Appy Folk Art throughout much of the region. One of the largest
shows happens each May down in Berea, Ky. It's well worth the trip. The
Folk Art Museum run by Morehead State U. in Morehead, KY, has a small
shop that sells some fairly unique pieces. I'm not overly fond of much
of their collection though; the curator and I have entirely differing
tastes, to say the least.

wooden dolls and primitive toys. I grew up in on Troublesome Creek in Perry
Co. and now live in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the feedback.

You won't find any "old" stuff at the Kentucky Folk Art Museum in
Morehead. Most everything is contempory, and seems to be made for the
tourist trade, not that there is anything wrong with that. You might
want to check out:

for a wider selection. It'll also save a long drive!

Hey, how about all those cave rocks. I know they look a lot like glass slag
but the guy at the roadside stand assured me that they are real cave rocks.

Hi Cam,
You would probably be the best one to ask about this.
Do you have any recordings of Roddy McCorley?
Here in Center City Phila. well almost center city, it is a
residential block with just a few business places such as a wonderful
bicycle place (Via Bicycle) and a little place called grinds and
finds.
Well today there was a wonderful group outside grinds and finds just 6
doors or so from my place. Two banjos, a guitar and a hand organ.
Just some wonderful people making music.
Musicians are special people.
My 2 year old black Lab and I enjoyed them a lot. Especially when they
sang " Roddy McCorley" We were dancing on the sidewalk.
I seemed to know a lot of the tune and some of the words but was not
sure. It sure was good listening.
Thanks for all your earlier kindnesses,
joevan

I found the words and this midi, I don't like midi sounds. The street
version was just wonderful. I wish I could have recorded them. Midi
just don't make it.

No, I don't.

Before I retired, I used to stop at a little sort of "urban redneck"
bar on the way home if I had been working late. One late night, an old
black gentleman wandered in, and started playing some wonderful blues
harmonica. Playing for drinks, I suppose. After about 15 or 20
minutes, the bartender threw him out. Pissed me off. Haven't been back
there since.
