"Come bedtime, I’d settle into those crisp, delicious-smelling Bellair “sturdy cotton” sheets and dream of lightening bugs, roller skating and chicken pie."

"We fed the rinsed clothes through the wringer-rollers and they’d come out flat as a cartoon road-runner. We’d shake them out and hang them on the line outside if it was sunny, or on her giant screened-in back porch if rain threatened."

Check out a lil' bit of our very own Wayne Erbsen & the @UncAvl Bluegrass Band performing the classic "In The Pines" at #IBMAWOB2022 last week. We're so proud!

Big thanks to the internet-famous Jim Pankey for this sweet review of Ted and Wayne's new book "Ukulele Tunes, Tips & Jamming."

[Native Ground Books & Music @Native_Ground]

"The language in the book is casual,like a conversation. It’s what you would expect someone to say,not what you would think they would write.Maybe that’s another reason I’ve enjoyed this book.I feel like I’ve spent time with a friend and I’ve learnedsomething in the process.

This particular one is 'Helen's Oatmeal Bread' from 1918. You can find this recipe on p. 62 of Aunt Barb's Bread Book (available as both a downloadable PDF and a physical book). Get your copy here: https://t.co/9ye9E2nqN5

Tonight we're thinking back to this incredibly yummy oatmeal bread Barb made during those early pandemic days.

If you are running out of ingredients, it's a perfect time to look to 'war breads' of the past, when ingredients were harder to come by.
