"The Foolish Pride Three" pickin' and jamin' on the streets of Kensington, MD. "Johnson boys were raised in the ashes/ Didn't know how to court a maid/ Turned their backs and hide their faces/ Didn't know where to put their feet/ Oh oh, the Johnson Boys ..."Pickin in the Park; May 2008

Hey Bob,
What a great site! I hope all is well with you and your family. I sure do miss you guys. Missing Ligonier weekend with Mom and my extended family was pretty hard this year. I sure hope we can all get together next time I'm back east and make some music. Keep in touch, Dawn
Hi Dawn, Hope things are good for U in CA. I missed Ligonier myself this year. I've attended the last 3 yrs though. Festival had wrong timing 4me. But heading up to MD/PA after Sep 16 for Fam Hist research, and visits to family. Send me ur email in personal note or message. Take Care, Bob
