Book Description
"Do you realize you are going back fifty years in progress?" That's what my father-in-law, 'Pop' Troost, asked my husband, Bill, and me, as we pulled up our roots from a comfortable three-bedroom ranch home in New Jersey. With our five young children we did just that! We planted those roots 200 miles north in the western slopes of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. An old, three story, ten room farmhouse that hadn't been lived in for a couple of years became our 'new' home. Out in the middle of nowhere, the kids had a few hundred acres to romp in, as we became used to living the life of 'the olden times.' This vacationland has given me many memorable moments. Some unexpected, some exasperating, some comical, some heart wrenching. As you read between the lines, you will find God in the whole mix.

Book Description
Three years ago, Kylee's world shattered when her husband tragically died in a climbing accident. And yet, ironically, his final gift to her was an inn on the edge of a treacherous cliff, catering to thrill-seeking rock climbers. The constant presence of towering mountains and steep cliffs only serves as a painful reminder of her loss, but she soldiers on for the sake of their shared dream. When Shawn Walker arrives, a skilled climber seeking new challenges in these unforgiving cliffs, he’s intrigued with the pretty inn keeper. As he scales the rocky faces and pushes himself to the limit, he finds temporary refuge from the heartache of losing his own family three years prior. But it's not just the adrenaline rush that keeps him at the inn - it's the kind-hearted owner and her charming young son who have captured his attention. Despite knowing that their time together is limited, Shawn can't resist extending his stay for another week. He knows they can never become a couple, but he clings to the fleeting moments with them as long as he can. Will he be able to let go once his vacation is over, or will he risk everything for a chance at something more?

Pages : 262
Book Description
Based on extensive archival research and oral history, Staging Tradition traces the parallel careers of the creators of the Renfro Valley Barn Dance and the National Folk Festival. Through their devotion to the staging of traditional culture, including folk, country, and bluegrass music, John Lair (1894-1985) and Sarah Gertrude Knott (1895-1984) became two of the mid-twentieth century's most notable producers. Lair and Knott's discovery of new developments in theater and entertainment during the 1920s led the pair to careers that kept each of them center stage. Inspired by programs such as WLS's Barn Dance and the success of early folk events, Lair promoted Kentucky musicians. Knott staged her own radically inclusive festival, which included Native and African American traditions and continues today as the National Folk Festival. Michael Ann Williams shows how Lair and Knott fed the public's fascination with the "art of the common man" and were in turn buffeted by cultural forces that developed around and beyond them.
