I recently had the privilege of hanging out with Quinten Boyles, who is an old time country singer residing in Wytheville, Va. His story is heart breaking , but one of resilience and finding strength in the many friends he has made alone the way with his gentle spirit and beautiful Mountain voice. He grew up in a house similar to the one where we did his portrait, with very little but faith , good meals and a roof over his head he taught himself to play guitar and remembers sitting under the tree on hot summer days with his family and picking the old great gospel tunes together. I think you will enjoy reading his story and I'm looking forward to getting it down on paper.
Today I was reading some post on facebook and came across this amazing Blog by the writer Silas House, he talks about the controversial article in the New York Times about the coal mining community, mountain top removal and chemical spills. He gives a fair in depth discussion and its well worth the time !
By the way, this beautiful tree resides at the back of St Johns church in Wytheville, Va. you never know where beauty will strike! I took this during a concert there by Willard Gayheart and Scott Freeman. What a blessing that was !
