The children in our town have an opportunity to study Appalachaian music at what is known as 'Pick and Bow'. They may attend a summer camp for a week in town. It is a wonderful program. Best of all, for five months every spring and summer on Saturday afternoon all you have to do is bring your instrument and sit with others in front of the Gold Museum and play. One person each week is volunteers to be the leader for the week. We are entertained by the group playing for our enjoyment. It is wonderful to sit in the shade of the trees and hear toe tapping music. Good luck on Wednesday nights! Have fun!

Without your efforts this group might never have had access to the Denison campus. And thank you to all of you who have kept this weekly session going. Thank you, Richard.

It was the highlight of my week, 2003-2007. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
