My dad and uncle were in my grandfather’s band, The Coatesville Ramblers, and they used to tell tales of being on the same stage as The Carter Family, Grandpa Jones, and Minnie Pearl at the old Sunset Park venue in PA.

Thanks again! Makes me feel a bit closer to my dad on a really depressing night.

Delmarva well, some of LSD too. It is a depressing time for US and UK democracy, I often think of and miss my folks too.
