The PHOTOS are MISSING! Hmmmm...I've spent the better part of the morning trying to post photos onto my blog. Doesn't appear it is going to happen today, though! Blogger must be experiencing some down-time for some sort of maintenance or the other, I suppose.

Thinking about the band playing at Silver Dollar City got me nostalgic and got me to thinking about how much Darcy has matured and grown since she first started singing with the band (at age four...debuting in front of a large crowd at Silver Dollar City). I dug around and found photos of her very first music endeavor (the fiddle at age two), singing with the band at SDC when she was four (having to stand up on a chair in order to be visible!), her early banjo debuts (and the photo of her and her daddy performing at the Santa Fe Trails festival when she was about six years old...that photo was taken by an actual professional photographer and wound up in a magazine a few years later), and then more recent photos of her engrossed in pickin' on her mandolin or my old guitar just around the house. It just amazes me how MUCH she has grown up...and how quickly. Time really does fly so fast once you have children. Anyway, I FOUND all those various photos (had to scan a few of them from paper copies) and had planned to post them today...but, I've been thwarted in my efforts! Maybe I will be able to post that succession of photos later tonight!  ¶ 9/20/2006 10:49:00 AM
