Nathaniel and his dad spent this morning adding a living history element to a school program at Traveler's Rest State Historic Site. Nathaniel and his dad jammed in their old-time clothes while two busloads of students toured the old stagecoach inn. They would break from strumming for each group of students and would tell a little about the history of the mountain dulcimer. Nathaniel even jammed a little with Tony Souther, site manager of Traveler's Rest, who plays a traditional wooden Appalachian banjo. This morning's program was the fourth dulcimer event in the last week and final scheduled event of the Chistmas season. Sorry for the poor quality photo. Camera phone. dark room.

Art Show & Mississippi Sawyer
Nathaniel spent Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7 playing solo for a drop-in type audience during an art show in the home and studio of North Georgia artist, John Kollock. Than was in a room with his sister, Sarah, who showed her pressed flower artwork. Nathaniel's songs, many of which were his own arrangements, included a mix of Christmas music, hymns and fiddle tunes. Click above for his version of Mississippi Sawyer.
