 The Appalachian Advantage Plan is the simpler, better way to get the phone you actually want instead of paying hundreds of dollars up front. Simply pay the taxes up front and a few extra dollars a month and get the phone you really want. It's called the Appalachian Advantage available at Appalachian Wireless. It may not look like it now but just an hour ago Knot County Central High School was filled with hundreds and hundreds of people lining up to receive donated musical instruments. On October 29th Wood Songs hosted a Flood Relief event at Knot County Central High School where they were donating hundreds of musical instruments to those affected in the floods in eastern Kentucky. Appalachia is the comfortable rocking chair of America's front porch. It is a beautiful, wonderful community that has gotten a bad shake from movies and TV. They've never been presented with the dignity and the creativity that they deserve, that they are. And to see hundreds of people in line who wanted to sit on their front porch and play a banjo and a guitar, it is the epitome of America's front porch, of America's music. It is the rural kingdom of what Appalachia represents to America. And when you see that in person, it is incredible. It is very, very moving. From elementary school kids looking for instruments for band class to grandparents looking for a replacement guitar for their porch picking, it seemed like everyone had a reason for coming out here today. It's really exciting to have band come back to eastern Kentucky and rebuilding the music programs back in eastern Kentucky. Everyone that come down here, I'm sure, has a family member that's been in music for a long time or they just like to play on their down time just to have something to do. Some people it's their entire careers, their entire lives like it is with us. To say this event was a success would be an understatement. Just an hour after opening their doors, Woodsong sold out of every single one of their instruments. When the floods happened in Appalachia, we knew that we could at least restore the music of their front porches. I used to live in Moussey, Kentucky, in Knot County. This is important to me personally. But instruments came in from all over America, literally, even Ireland. And today at Knot County Central High School, hundreds of people got in line and every instrument that we brought, everything, hundreds of them, gone. All distributed for free. When the flood happened, our hillside had fell off and got into the shed and it had completely destroyed my drum kit. When I showed up, I wasn't expecting to find a drum set. I was mostly expecting it to be like keyboards and mandolins and guitars, you know, like just the general country bluegrass type of thing. But when they called for a drum set, I was like, me, I need one. So it just warmed my heart so much. Like I couldn't thank them enough for what they've done today. It's been amazing. Appalachia is the most wonderful, beautiful, romantic, mysterious, misunderstood, and I will say mistreated, disrespected region in America. And they deserve to have their culture and their music back. And I hope America catches up to the beauty and dignity of what Appalachia really is. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Jameson Killen.
