Some Pictures From Our Recent Book Event at the Ballard Public Library

On May 20th of this year, we did a pleasant presentation and book-signing event for the Carter Family book at the Ballard branch of the Seattle Public Library. Hannah Parker of the SPL sent us a couple of photographs from the event. First, here's us smiling at the book-signing table:

And here are the wonderful Laurel Bliss and Cliff Perry, who serenaded the audience with gorgeous renditions of Carter Family songs. I wish they'd had an extra hour to sing and play! It was a most pleasant, all too brief evening. Thanks to everyone who attended!
