Music from
Kentucky 1800s
Kentucky
cousins were gifted musicians it’s said
Gatherings
with strings and organs in fine stead
It was
heart-to-heart music, love filled the air
Our Dollie
Thompson shone with her special flair.
Virgil and
Lonnie added both banjo and song,
Sam’s
banjo and guitar, a must to bring along
Cousin
Charles excelled with strings and voice
S.E.
Thompson played and sang with rejoice.
Dollie
Thompson was our Howard extraordinaire
She
savored everything; it gave her joy to share
Talent and
love of music laid the foundation
Insured
passionate talent for future generations
With
wonderful memories of Kentucky times
Dollie
brought joy and laughter in tough times
Her music
was emotional survival for dozens
Her gift
of healing learned from Kentucky cousins-
