Bringing The Kids Into Bluegrass Music
by Denise Hitchcock
We had an old fashioned musical Christmas. It was a big family gathering in Danville, California with four excellent musicians, and a 17 member appreciative audience that contributed loudly during sing-alongs. The musicians were Stan
Hitchcock, son Scott along with nephew Rev. Michael Sharps and son Alex. It was our own private bluegrass concert complete with folding chairs!

New Years Resolutions
by Mary Woodlief
 We ring out the old year singing "Auld Lang Syne" with fireworks, meeting with old and new friends, trying to stay awake to say Happy New Years, we await
the drop of the Big Ball and the many other ways that we choose to celebrate the coming New Year. I don't know about you but for me it's a time of reflection to look back on the past year with heartfelt thankfulness for God's provision
and care. The years past have mellowed me so much. How about you?

Turning 90 With Grace
by Ronnie Reno
Let me introduce you to the legendary Curly Seckler, one of the "First Generation" of Bluegrass performers. Curly has been playing for 75 years and was one of the Foggy Mountain Boys of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs fame from 1949 until
1962. Curley was with them almost from the beginning. He sang tenor with Lester and played mandolin and recorded well over 100 songs including such popular hits like "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms", "Salty Dog Blues", "I'll go Stepping Too"
and "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke".

Front Porch Ramblings
The Shadow Of Your Smile
by Stan Hitchcock
"Curly Chalker, the best dang steel guitar player that ever slid a bar across strings…."
Early one morning, in 1998, one of my musician friends called me and told me that one of my old compadres had just died, namely Curly Chalker; the best dang steel guitar player to ever slide a bar across strings, and asked me if I would
come and sing at the funeral. Many years ago, around 1970, I recorded a song called "The Shadow Of Your Smile"; an old pop standard with one of the prettiest melodies I have ever heard.
