The Stoney Point String Band and guest player was asked to play on a beautiful afternoon at the Heritage Farm and Village Museum in Huntington, WV.\u00a0\u00a0 We gathered at what I would call an outdoor interactive museum that is similar to Williamsburg in Virginia.\u00a0\u00a0 The farm is made up of multiple structures with re-enactors depicting life in early Appalachia, mostly West Virginia.<\/p>

To fully appreciate, and describe, all that this museum has to offer you should read the details at their website:\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/www.heritagefarmmuseum.com\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Would recommend reading the following\u00a0article about Mike Perry<\/a>\u00a0who founded such a wonderful museum.\u00a0 We established ourselves at the picnic area across from the children’s petting zoo and museum building and began to play many of our favorite songs such as \u201cOld Horse and Buggy,\u201d \u201cRed Prairie Dawn,\u201d \u201cWaterbound,\u201d and others.\u00a0\u00a0 Lots of people would stop to listen and enjoy the music.<\/p>

We continue to learn new songs.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a never ending adventure and allows for our enjoyment of music to never get dull.\u00a0\u00a0 On Sundays Edna continues to host other Old Time players\u00a0 in the Huntington area who bring new tunes to learn.\u00a0\u00a0 When David and John come for a visit you can depend on them to bring something else for the band to try and they can be other types of tunes like pop, folk, or gospel.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Over this weekend, we learned a new tune written by Brian Bowers and Bob Danoff the latter co-wrote \u201cTake me Home, Country Roads.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 This new tune speaks of how good it is to learn a new song and it is called \u201cFriend for Life.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Here is a\u00a0video of this song performed by Brian Bowers<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Enjoy!!!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
