Random huntin' and peckin' in the grist of the Shenandoah Valley.

Say Ho
Took a trip to hear Scott Miller in a solo performance at Ashland Coffee & Tea. Scott was raised on a farm at Swoope, VA (his parents still live there), attended Buffalo Gap and graduated from Stuarts Draft. From there it was off to William & Mary and a degree (history, I think). He now lives in east Tennessee and performs solo and with his band, The Commonwealth. Occasionally his tours bring him to Virginia where family always shows up creating a reunion atmosphere.
I've heard Scott several times with the Commonwealth, most recently in Johnson City while he and the band were recording a live CD, "Reconstruction."
One of my favorites is "Amtrak Crescent"
This extended clip from Studio 865 at the University of Tennessee features an interview and in-studio performances of several favorites: "Sa Ho," "Daddy Raised a Boy," "Made a Mess of This Town," among others. Enjoy.
Check out his website and buy a CD (also available on Amazon). More Scott Miller videos/songs are on YouTube.
Below is my first post on Coarse Cracked Corn. It remains a good description of what's happening. I look forward to your comments, but really don't give a cluck if you agree, disagree, or want to chop the chicken's head off. Most of this pecking around is just me crowing.
Coarse cracked corn is chicken feed - 8% protein, 2.50% fat, and 2.75% fiber. Good stuff made at mills right here in the Shenandoah Valley around 1900. Coarse Cracked Corn, the blog, will be a little like that - pecking around at history, news, and current events in the region. A little grain in, lots of manure out, eggs for breakfast, and a chicken in every pot.
I have no idea where this blog will go or how fast it will get there. Time will tell.
