I'll be signing books at Barnes and Noble in Morgantown on Saturday, December 10th, but here's the best part. Jake Krack will be there too. Jake will play fiddle tunes and I'll read PASSING THE MUSIC DOWN, which is actually Jake's story. He's the young musician I wrote about in the book.
As you might guess from the picture on the right, Jake is a graduate of Berea College where, in addition to his studies, he catalogued recordings of traditional musicians for the Berea College library. He also did an internship with the Smithsonian's music archives and has since compiled, arranged, & co-produced the Smithsonian Folkways recording, Classic Old-time Fiddle.
As you see, Jake has continued to play, winning first place in old-time fiddle competitions at Galax, Virginia and in Mount Airy, North Carolina.

And join us on Saturday, December 10th at Barnes & Noble in Morgantown, WV from 11 to 2. http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2189
