Well I hadn't planned on adding qanything quite so soon but life has a way of taking you down roads you'd not planned on. :- {I received word early this morning that a dear friend, Bobbi Finley (Roberta), passed away following a short but very difficult bought with cancer.
Bobbi joined my dulcimer group, Mixed-Up Strings, in the mid 90's. She was an awesome addition to the group, a wonderful musician. Her talent really blossomed when she got a banjimer. She developed an unrivaled strumming pattern which drove the music.
Bobbi hated the 1800's costume we wore. During the summer months they can be unbearable. One particularly funny event took place following a gig, in costume. As a group we stopped at an Amish restaurant. As Bobbi passed another seated customer she over hear the person comment to her friend...I didn't know the Amish were allowed to wear jewelry, let alone earrings!'. From that day forward Bobbi was tagged with the title, the 'Gaudy Amish'.
Bobbi was well respected and loved by the group membership. She will be sorely missed!!!!
Rest peacefully dear friend, till we all meet up again on the other side. In the meantime keep the music coming.
