    I remember listing to her Grandfather and Dad playing fiddle in the 1970's when I was a teenager in the New River Valley. Her father was perhaps the finest old time fiddler I ever heard. I saw him perhaps 3 years ago at NRCC while visiting from Georgia. She performed with him on stage. The harps of heaven are no sweeter then her voice...

    You Are Such A Bundle Of Talent And Charm,Absolute Essence of America in its Environment. And The Best Music to My ear, In such a Long Time. And I usually listen to Jazz. Im thinking Fiddlers Convention this year.

    Martha, Love you girl! Thats my music. My Uncle Bob Santmyer won the Grand old Oprea and was going to go on the Tex Ritter shows yrs ago, and Tex died 2 wks before my Uncle was to start. He had 10 kids and they all were in the Santmyer Family band later. They are on U-tube. Vernon kept planning to this day. You keep up because not only are you good but we are losing our heritage and you are helping preserve it.Really appreciate you. Oh Donna Dixon Dad, Earl Dixon was My Uncle's manager.She later married Dan Aykord.

    Martha, This, your song resonated into our hearts.
    You came to Cornwall for our annual Bluegrass event some years ago. (Maybe 2011) Your family band played so well, it touched our souls. I (naively) asked you if you knew any Carter Family songs. You were diplomatic, just said yes, and you played some. We invited you to come for a trad Sunday Lunch in Falmouth the next day, but your daddy was a bit poorly, so you could not make it. Never mind I thought. You were the real thing, we heard, we saw, we spoke, and that I will never forget that. Love n'stuff

    What I can't understand about the music industry is how you'll see someone like Martha and you feel like they've got a lot of natural talent and you'll see others who have a free ticket to fame and fortune with half the talent and we all wonder why the music industry is depriving us all. I know I'm not alone on this.

Anyway idont know thats my opinion. I bet if shed been in the right place at the right time shed be far more successful than allison krauss. Im curious if im right or wrong and what yall think.
