* From Rick in Roanoke about Harmonic Highways

I have finished your book which is wonderful--one of the great reads 
for me in recent years. It brought the musical heritage of SW Virginia 
alive  for me in a way nothing ever has. It connected many threads 
and evoked  so many emotions and much nostalgia. It also presents 
a tragedy--what capitalism has done to the region and how people 
have turned to the  traditional music as a spiritual search.

I read the article in the Blue Ridge Country, cutting across the grain on Rt.16. Even though I ride it nearly every day during bike season, just reading your article made me excited to ride it tomorrow. You have a way of making the road come alive, as one reads the article. Your ability to reach the reader, is truly a gift. Thanks for a great article! Hope to see you on the "Back of the Dragon"
