Saturday, August 7  was a very special musical experience for Maria McCullough, and myself.  We organized a small family concert that afternoon.  

This is the Dalton Family (Kristina, Conner and John) and their friend Morgan (on the fiddle).  

The Daltons have been studying guitar with me for about a year and this is their first ever public performance.  They played Old Joe Clark, Pay Me My Money Down, John Henry and Bile em Cabbage Down.  Morgan also played Go Tell Aunt Rhody.

I was very impressed with the composure of all the performers.  They all took the stage quite naturally and worked through their nervousness to create quite a performance.  That is one of the biggest challenges of performance.  

Also performancing where The Sunshine Band, made up of Viola, Ella, Ann and Kurt.  

The performance took place at The Book Cellar, at 4736 N. Lincoln Ave.  Suzy is the owner and she is and incredible supporter of the work that Maria and I do.  Thanks Suzy!
