Mornin’ Brandon… I’ll have to show this to Dennis. He plays a lot of Wilson Douglas tunes, is downstairs now fiddlin’ away, practicing the old time tunes. Stop by sometime when you’re in the area. He’d love to show you his collection of instruments and play some music. That the younger generation is carrying it on is important to him. Me, too, but my interest is more in the history of our people. Thanks again for all your efforts. I’m following the blog… Jan Our address is l415 Washington Blvd… close to Cabell Huntington Hospital. Stop by or give us a call if you ever get a chance. 525-4574 but 304-412-4889 might be best. Jan
