Practice on the Road

This week, Nathaniel and his dad had the opportunity to perform for the seniors group at Level Grove Baptist Church. They dressed in their old-time clothes and played a mix of mostly old hymns and fiddle tunes, sharing a bit of dulcimer history between songs. Nathaniel played four solos: Victory in Jesus, Wayfaring Stranger, How Great Thou Art and Black Mountain Rag.
Immediately prior to the concert, though, Nathaniel and his dad spent a few days traveling, so they did their final performance preparations on the road, practicing first on the balcony at a beach resort and then in their room at Blacks Camp on the Santee Cooper lakes. Their next performance is with the Nacoochee Strummers, playing for residents of a nearby assisted living home.
