In the National Folk Festival's long history, its residency in Richmond has been one of the NCTA's most successful community collaborations.

    I am saddened to find out that Phil Wiggins is no more. He gave me way back in the early 90's one phenomenal harmonica lesson, the inspiration of which is still guiding me in my work with people with disabilities and music making! Thank you Phil -- up there in the heaven exclusively reserved for genius musicians!

    Have seen these ladies in many TH-cam videos - they are always "with it" - talented and engaging. This one is unusual in that Martha gives us some of her "the best" dancing before performing songs - she usually has us wait until the second half, or near the end of a performance to be amazed by her footwork. And what a thoughtful and authentic setting for the had to be virtual due to strong COVID epidemic going on cicumstances. So, from here in Shenandoah County, thanks to NCTA for this video - and THANKS! Martha and Emily for being so generous with your sincere, meaningful, and moving talents. 😍💐
