Sing Out! Posted on by

I have just returned from West Virginia. It’s my second home. I We attended the Augusta Heritage Center October Fiddler’s Reunion an event encouraging friends to get together visit and play music before the arrival of the big snow. This week we’ll be listening to some great Old-Time music from Wilson Douglas, Gandydancer, Dwight Diller and many more. We’ll also sample some music from some of the finest songwriters from the Mountain State. We’ll include Billy Edd Wheeler, Kate Long, John Lilly, Tim O’brien and many more. Spend some time in the Mountain State … on this week’s edition of The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

About Tom Druckenmiller

Tom has a long history with Sing Out! as a writer and regular contributor (for more than a decade) and deep and rich skills as a radio host and programmer of folk and roots music! He's been a folk musician and teacher for over forty years. Tom began playing and singing Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton songs, but fell in love with old-time music and the clawhammer banjo after hearing John McCutcheon at the legendary Bethlehem folk club Godfrey Daniels. He has studied with old-time music greats Dwight Diller, Riley Baugus and Norman and Nancy Blake … and has, himself, taught at many music camps and workshops including The Augusta Heritage Workshops (in Elkins WV), the Pocono Dulcimer Fest (in Stroudsburg PA) and the Maidencreek Old-Time Music Festival (in Blandon PA).
