Saturday Frolics...



3 Good Things:
Recent rains
have caused
little tributaries to
run strong.

Top:
A stream
flowing into
the New River
runs strong
and looks much
like flowing
chocolate!
This rushing
noise was
the backdrop
for a concert
in Todd, N.C.
where the
87 year old
(blind) singer
/songwriter
/guitarist

Doc Watson performed
live for a group of about
100 near Todd General
Store (Middle Shot.)
Bottom
:
On the way
out of the valley,
geese frolic
in the cool
running water.

And a
good time

was had...by all.

  1. Such wonderful photos! It's amazing how much power water has, isn't it? That's a wonderful photo of Doc Watson. He looks like he's a master of his craft. Geese always look cheeky to me - like they're up to some kind of mischief! :)

  3. Agreed about the geese Talon! My husband was very pleased to stumble upon this concert in the boonies...apparently Doc is 'from' somewhere near Todd and he regularly makes a showing to play across from the General Store! Todd has like...3 things in it; it literally is one very short, small road that parallels another road above!

  4. Wow-nearby Walker Creek flows into the New River as well here in southwest Virginia. I am glad I found your blog. It's very interesting. I will be back!
