For example, last weekend I volunteer at the Mescal Movie Set to help with a Swap Meet vendor event. The volunteer coordinator tells me that I do not need to bring any of my instruments. He believes that I will be busy working with vendors all day. Of course, I never leave home without at least a banjo. So I am prepared in case a melodic opportunity presents itself.
Once I finish my setup duties on site, I ask if it will be alright for me to play along the street. Playing music in the background of tours is how I usually spend my volunteer days here so everyone seems OK with it.
Well I’ll be!
Looking forward to welcoming you back to NC when you can get here.
May have to wait a bit to get the Piper Cub up the hill west of El Paso, and on over to your new trailer wherever it is AZ.
N. Clem and Biggie
Well as soon as you think the Cub can make it, I will give you the lat and long. I would love to see you both!! Will call as soon as I make it to NC.
WOW What a surprise as one door closes 2 more open. We want to sell our RV as well, I have spent a lot of money on it making it as perfect as possible. Hope you get yours gone OK and things work out well for ya. Being able to fine a JAM often is the secret to success with your own instruments. Sure have missed you and appreciate the note so we know you are OK. Look forward to seeing you when you get home. GOD BLESS

Good luck on selling your RV. Looking forward to jamming with YOU when I make it back to NC. Until then, hugs to you and Sandy.
I can’t say I didn’t see that coming…you have stayed strong and true to Stormy, but it’s time to think about your future. A woman alone driving a Country Coach is so daring and unpredictable and stressful. My brother sold his Country Coach and though he had wonderful experiences he was ready to give up the nomadic lifestyle….and the frequent mechanical issues and such. I wish you the best that life has to offer you now. It sounds like you have a good plan to go through the other door that is opening to you. Please keep us all in the loop. Godspeed!
PS – loved the jam session!
Thanks for the encouragement, Marcia. I plan to keep posting as I search for more adventures. Thanks for keeping up with me and sharing kind words!
Deb,
Sounds like you will have many adventures at your beckon call in your area of new digs. Florida still awaits you when ready ?
Diane & Tim
I may very well wind up spending time in Florida in the next year or so as I help my Mom with her affairs. I will definitely let you know if that happens.
Fantastic to hear from you! So excited for you and your new adventure! Keith & I will miss you. We will have to try and get together if we are close by! Keep posting so we will know how you’re doing! You’ve become a great musician…and all those instruments you can play!! Awesome! We love you and are so thankful for our times together! Sweet, precious memories of you and Charlie. I know he is so proud of you!
Much love, Punkin & Keith
I am planning on a trip to Lake Havasu for the Bluegrass festival next year. If I make it, I will definitely let you know ahead of time so we can get together.
So true about the sweet memories. So glad we met you early in our travels!!
Awesome stories and videos
Coming from one of the wonderful folks who enticed me to this area, that means a lot!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time! I hope we get to see you when you head back to NC.
You know I will be sure and get up with you and Mike. Hope you are both doing well!
Looking forward to following your new adventures, wherever… and grateful for your sharing previous travels (travails). Most respectful thoughts and remembrances of Storm, I’m sure he approves of the transition.
Thanks Jim! Always great to hear from you.
We are doing good. One day I will have to drag him out west and visit your new home.
