Daniel Szauter At The Pickin' Porch
Many talented Country, Old-Time and
Bluegrass Music performers have graced the
Pickin' Porch stage
over the years, and one of the best I have ever seen performed during last
night's show: Daniel Szauter of the
Forget-Me-Nots.
Daniel was in the Bristol
area on vacation, so he dropped in and quietly sat down in the audience to enjoy
the show. Before long, Pickin' Porch host
Tim White had spotted him
and coaxed him up onto the stage to sing and pick along with the last group of
the evening.
Even though they reside in Canada, Daniel and the rest of the Szauter family
have become quite close to
Janette Carter
and her family, and they visit and perform at the
Carter Family Fold
whenever the opportunity arises - usually at least twice a year.
Before Janette's brother
Joe passed away,
he had a very special guitar built out of persimmon wood. During one of the
Szauter's visits, Joe invited Daniel to play his precious "persimmon guitar".
Holding and picking that instrument was such a moving experience for Daniel that
he wrote a song about it, aptly named "Joe's Persimmon Guitar".
Daniel now sings that beautiful song every time he gets up on a stage, and last
night he sang it for the audience at the Pickin' Porch Show - and it was
the highlight of the evening!
