"If I am not helping to create more people like me... then I risk my art form dying with me" - Jennifer Rose Ramsay Escobar teaches elementary school kids how to play the dulcimer using cardboard instruments. After a week of sessions the class gives a school concert. Her words about creativity and music and learning are so inspiring. She's part of my #portrait series #100days100voices for #100daysinappalachia #appalachia #berea #bereaky #thisisappalachia #dulcimer #appalachianmusic #kentucky #ky #appalachiaincolor #ontheroad #lookingatappalachia #insideapppalachia (at Berea, Kentucky)

"I don't try to do songs just like B. B. King. It wouldn't never be no me, I'm just mocking B.B.King, or Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf or some of those guys. I don't want to be mocking. Later on, down the through the years to come, I hope somebody be mocking me." -- Leo "Bud" Welch released his first blues album at the age of 81.

I have seen lots of lovely #barnquilts and this one was on a barn that kinda matched the mountains. Everything seemed to be a shade of gray that day, except the quilt. #100daysinappalachia #thisisappalachia #bereaky #berea #kentucky #barnquilt #ontheroad #lookingatappalachia #insideapppalachia #ky #Madisoncounty #mountains #mountain #barns #barn #farmlife #farm (at Berea, Kentucky)
