Album Notes

Liner Notes by Henry M. Futcher, WFLO AM & FM, Farmville, VA:

Bluegrass Fans and Friends,

Music, the universal language, is well spoken in "Pink Shoes & Bluegrass Blues" by 17 year old Heather Berry & the Virginia Carolina band.

After 49 years in music by past and present greats, I am still moved by a possible future great. I was there along with her supportive parents when 12 year-old Heather sang with the Lewis Family, and later with Charlie Waller. Tom T. Hall, and wife, Dixie, are also fans of her angelic voice and her work on autoharp and flat-picking guitar.

However, no building stands without a firm foundation, which is the Virginia Carolina band. On banjo is Harvey Mays, who is always displays class as he enhances the vocalist. Henry Boitnott, blind since birth, has 20/20 musical vision on mandolin and finger-picked guitar. His wife, Judy, sets the beat with her bass.

There is only One who knows the ending before the beginning, and it is to Him they give honor and praise. I don't know where His plan for Heather will lead her, but I can't wait! Listen now as something old becomes something new.
