Mountain Music

In late winter of 1970, my sister Robin surprised me with an interest in bluegrass gospel music. She added mandolin to her skill set and convinced me to go to some great fiddlers' conventions over the next few years. That music has been far from my life in the decades since. Wednesday evening, Randy Green, a neighbor and frequent SWAP volunteer in Elkhorn came to share his testimony with us, first in word, and then in song. Many of the other SWAP staff joined in with Randy in a wonderful bluegrass jam session.

We from Saint James who have been fortunate to share in this adventure in Elkhorn have been blessed in countless ways. Randy's musical gifts are among them.
