Dear Harold,
The time draws near for both your honoring and much, much fun at the Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau...As you already know, I will not be able to make it, but will be there in spirit (as will Dave, William, and Louise; Karen Rosene, and others who have gone before us). Of that I am certain.
I trust that you will be encircled by the musical love you have helped to create, and that your influence will be witnessed by yet another generation of musicians, dancers, and callers.
Music is a timeless magic that tells the story of humankind...
Sincerely,
Deb Wessler
Singer, Songwriter, Guitar & Banjo Player
(former and always member of the Doc South Family Band)
PS For God sakes, somebody please send me the link to youtube or wherever, when all the fun is said and done.
