My Home Town - Welch, West Virginia

Here is a video show of a few of the pictures I have taken in and around Welch, West Virginia using my Nikon D80 and Nikon D90 DSLR cameras. The first song you hear in the video was written by my friend, Barry Clevenger. He is playing the banjo, Charlie Davis is playing dobro, and I am playing bass, mandolin, guitar, and keyboard. The second song was written by me and I am playing all the instruments.

I was born in Welch back in 1957, but was never raised there. I have my Grand-parents and a Uncle buried in Rotherfield not far from Welch. My parents would drive about a hour to Welch to shop as I was growing up. The town has seem to changed allot since I was there last. By your video it looks allot cleaner and allot of businesses as came in. Good work on both your music and the photography and video. Hope to make a drive back soon to Welch to visit again..

Your music is fantastic, I'd love to be able to purchase these tunes! Any chance you have them available anywhere? Also, thank you for the great view into Welch!

@FiltTration Thank you so very much. We recorded the songs here at home and have never made them available to purchase. My friend, Barry Clevenger, wrote the first song and plays the banjo on this recording. I wrote the second song and played all the music on it. Thank you again.

The book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls brought me here.

@jkfan2005 Some folks just don't do their homework. Thanks for watching.

My father came from Hinton, on the C&O Railway, roughly equivalent to Welch, on the N&W. A little sad to report that when I visited Hinton, a shop was selling t-shirts lettered "Hinton West Virginia -- A Railroad Town" but with the image of an N&W steam engine!
