Faith Duncan Singing At The Carter Fold

Click photo to enlarge.       (L-R) Dale Jett - Faith Duncan - Oscar Harris Cheria and I went to the Carter Fold last night to see The Boohers, one of our favorite Bluegrass music bands. As always, they put on an exceptional show, treating the audience to some of the finest pickin' and singin' I've ever heard. These folks were absolutely great the first time I heard them several years ago, yet somehow they just keep getting better and better with every performance! Stepping onto a stage right after a Boohers performance can be intimidating to say the least, but last night young Faith Duncan did just that - and her performance was the highlight of the show! As it turns out, 7 year old Faith is one of Dale Jett's biggest fans. She knows every song on his latest CD by heart, and last night Dale invited her onto the Carter Fold stage during the intermission to help him and his good friend Oscar Harris sing the A.P. Carter gospel classic "Anchored in Love". Faith sang right along with Dale and Oscar, loud and clear in perfect harmony without missing even one word - and she received a standing ovation at the end. This young lady is without a doubt one of the most talented 7 year olds on the face of the planet. Dale Jett is the third generation of the famous Carter Family to make great traditional music. Along with his sister Rita Forrester and many others, Dale is doing a great job at keeping the legacy and music of A.P., Sara and Maybelle alive and thriving. And hopefully, youngsters like Faith Duncan will always be around to help carry that torch in the years to come. Picture Of The Day Homepage | Submit a photo More Interesting Articles
