Great! Ancient tunes! Greetings from Greece, happy new year guys!

[@Caramou]

In this depressing world you are a ray of sunshine Thanks 🌈

[@PiedmontBluz]

Don't let the world get you down...

[@FamilyMcManus]

I went back to listen to all 3 of Wiiliam Brown songs. They were all really good, wish there were more. The low output reminded me of Blind Willie Walker. He only recorded 2 songs, but they were incredible. I especially love South Carolina Rag.

[@LFortune]

Meeting you both this afternoon was such a treat, like meeting friends I hadn't seen in a long while and your music does not disappoint. Next time I'll be there, you best believe. It's wonderful! All the best to you until we meet again. Leasa Fortune

2022 progresses-Earlier this month I saw you outdoors at the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention children’s concert in the park. Dancing kids, smiling adults, your music so lovely floating on the air. Thanks for coming to play out on the west coast.

[@PiedmontBluz]

Nice to be "out west." Glad to hear that our children's program was enjoyable! Thanks for your kind words.

Great moment of music !

[@JoelBiger]

I discovered your videos today. It was about eleven o'clock this morning. I immediately fell in love with these extraordinary moments. Your music plays on feelings, on emotions and on deep dimensions of the soul. It's so sweet. So calm. Music that brings serenity. Well-being and reassurance. Thank you for all these wonderful gifts...

[@PiedmontBluz]

So glad that you found us, and happy to know that you enjoyed the music. Thanks for your kind words!

Such a wonderful treat this first morning of 2022 to see and listen to the two of you play. Such a talented duo. Thank you very much. Wishing you the very best possible in 2022; e.g., live performances.

[@PiedmontBluz]

Thank you so much!

[@shakeyjoekambic9135]

@@PiedmontBluz in addition to being performers, do either or one of you conduct a Master Class? In an ideal world, I'd like to see you come to Lancaster, PA to play and teach. Are you familiar with the Lancaster Roots and Blues Festival?

[@shakeyjoekambic9135]

I should read my replies before sending. "if either or not of you" should read "if either or one of you." Sorry

[@PiedmontBluz]

@@shakeyjoekambic9135 Ben teaches percussion workshops, I teach guitar workshops, and together we teach early blues history workshops. These workshops have been popular at festivals and music camps. If the Lancaster Roots and Blues Festival would like to hire us for performance and/or workshops, we'd be happy to speak to them. Thank you for your interest!

[@shakeyjoekambic9135]

@@PiedmontBluz I'll see what I can do. I've suggested other blues performers in the past, two of which were contracted to play. My friends Sarah Rogo out of California and Bluesman John Long.

[@marcus_starr]

This warms my heart as well as my ears. Happy new year to both of you.
