As I write this newsletter, there is more snow on the ground. It seems that we cannot shake winter. Once, however, you check out our March performers, I predict that you will be much happier: MARCH 4 – BRIAN ASHLEY JONES. Fabulous singer/songwriter and incredible guitarist from Nashville. www.brianashleyjones.com MARCH 5 – CHUCK BRODSKY. Chuck’s recent scheduled appearance was done in by the weather so we are bringing him back on a Friday for his many fans.www.chuckbrodsky.com MARCH 6 – COSY SHERIDAN. Cosy has been here a few times over the years but not recently. If you have not heard her, you should be here. She is terrific. www.cosysheridan.com MARCH 11 – ALAN BARRINGTON. This singer/songwriter’s work has been compared to that of David Wilcox and Pierce Pettis. www.alanbarrington.com MARCH 13 – MEL JONES & HIS BAG OF BONES.

One of our favorite performers from Asheville is back. www.elizalynn.com Saluda still looks like a war zone from the recent snow and ice storm where we lost power for several days. Immediately work crews were in the area trying to restore it and did so in record time. It reminded me of how grateful I am that there are people who know how to do things and who are committed to doing them well. This was certainly the case here in Saluda. I salute them. This email from our daughter Sarah (for which she says I have to give her public credit): “Glenn Beck published a book last year entitled “Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government”. Is this so people know how to argue with him? Our son and his family went to hear Ben Sollee and friends at a music store in Louisville where they live. Sollee had a young woman who played the violin and sang harmony on some of the songs. When our 7 year old granddaughter was asked about the music, she said that the woman’s voice was “like a shadow”. What a fine definition of harmony and how we all listen to music differently. A friend sent me this sign that she saw in a Baptist Church in Arkansas. Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the snake. The snake didn’t have a leg to stand on. Finally this poem: I Cover Myself with Time In the distance of my years I cover myself with time Like a blanket which enfolds me with the layers of my life. What can I tell you except that I have gone Nowhere and everywhere? What can I tell you except that I have not begun My journey now that it is through? All that I ever was and am yet to be Lies within me now this way. Nancy Wood Robert Seiler www.purpleonionsaluda.com |
