Lederhosen


I like to dress in the Lederhosen every now and then!  I have quite  a bit of German ancestry, and some times I like to dress up as one of my fore bearers .  I have worn native garb before for my American Indian heritage , and lederhosen for my folks from Germany. Not sure how to dress Irish, since I don't drink, lol. But I may get a french beret for the French side of me, and possibly some fake bad teeth for my British side! (just kidding). I think I could dress as Sherlock Holmes or King Edward , III (one of my ancestors).  I have a lot of different sides to me. Some days I feel German and I like to organize everything and dominate others . Some days I'm Irish and I get moody, but enjoy singing. Then some days I'm French and I'm a snob. My English side includes being excessively nice and passive aggressive, with a side of stiff upper lip! I'm also Scottish, so I need to get a kilt some day soon. Let me know in the comment sections who you identify with your people.

October Recap: Show At The Wayside Inn and Belle Grove

 In early October I sang at Larrick's Tavern, located in the beautiful Wayside Inn. I had stayed at the Wayside Inn before when I had a show at Gospel Fest in June. I somehow keep returning to the northwest corner of Virginia. There's a nice church in Winchester called Crossroads Community Chapel that I like to visit when I'm there. My show went well and I met the owners. I also got to have a tour of Belle Grove plantation down the road ,on the site of "Cedar Creek" Battlefield. The whole area is said to be "haunted", but I just rebuke whatever is there. Usually hauntings are demonic in nature. The first time I stayed at the Wayside Inn, I was in the "Lee Room" in the newer part of the hotel on the ground floor. It was named for General Lee. This time I stayed in the "Jefferson Room" on the 3rd floor in the oldest part of the hotel. Each hotel room is unique in design and named after a historic figure. Ironically, in the Jefferson roo...

Lee Jackson Day Weekend- Lexington VA!

 Although the Commonwealth of Virginia sadly no longer recognizes Lee-Jackson Day Weekend, many Virginians still honor and celebrate it. Here are a just a few shots from Lee-Jackson Day weekend in Lexington ! There was an awesome parade we did through downtown Lexington , which was preceeded by a memorial service at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. I marched with a large group of close to 100 people, and many spectators on the street waved and said "God Bless, Y'all!" to us. We got  almost all positive feedback and encouragement. The town itself is run by liberals, but many that live there are not on that side , and are real patriots. I enjoyed walking through Lexington, I haven't been there in many many years. On my way back, I stopped at the Depot Grille in Staunton, Virginia- a fun restaurant which was converted from an actual railroad depot. My waitress was a doll. The weather was chilly, but bearable.  It was a fun time overall !             ...

The Wayside Inn, Winchester, The Mountains, and Merry Thanksmas

I had to pick up my sister in Leesburg early for Thanksgiving, so I decided to stay at the Wayside Inn located in Middletown, Virginia, near Winchester. This gave me an option outside of "nova" and a chance to breathe. I have stayed there a few times before and it's like staying in a living museum.  I had a slight falling out with the management over my bookings, but we have made ammends. They no longer have independent live music, but instead  have weekend bluegrass jams. I love the history and the ambiance. This time I stayed in the Jubal Early room- the room once occupied by Confederate General Jubal Early. It was one of the rooms in the hotel that has the least amount of "ghost" activity, however, I felt a little odd , as just my sister and I  and two other guests were there the entire night. On my side of the hotel, no guests had arrived and the room across the hall was unoccupied.. The entire side of  my  hotel was empty! I did hear some strange things, su...
