Great to see you here Roberta!
Hi Roberta, glad you found your way here. We met at the Neshaminy event where I was playing with the Camptown Shakers. Dave Culgan
Hello Roberta,
I'm sorry, but I only vaguely recall a conversation about the Hammon's tune. Please remind me of this correspondence. Was it through some list serve? All the same, I love that music and am looking forward to becoming a better player of that style. Kind regards, always. - Guy
Hmmm, do you have a video on You Tube playing 'Walkin in the Parlor'?

Thanks, Silas...
I play a version of "Walkin' in the Parlor" from the Hammons family.
