That is how many images I was able to recover from a damaged disk. I have not seen these for three years or so. I am so grateful to have them back and now, secure and backed up well. The issue arose when 1. the programs they were in were discontinued and, 2. the hard drive and the BU hard drive both corrupted.
I have only had a couple of hours to work on the pictures but already great memories and an occasional decent photograph. But this one brought back a great night. We were at the Virginia Folk Music Festival in Richmond in 2011. There are five stages and things going on all of them all the time so you have to choose. We did not choose this one but we were at this stage for the previous show and did not need to leave for our chosen one for 1/2 hour so we thought we would watch Maggie and the Igramettes for a few minutes. We had little expectations. We never left. What an amazing group and a more remarkable and inspirational story. Maggie Ingram is in the center in the photo a son and two daughters flank her. She could not walk well but she danced and sang and simply captivated the audience. Who cheered and applauded and did not want to leave. What an event. Please pause what you are doing and read this article published at her death four years after this shot.
If you are not impressed and blessed by this story, we offer a full refund for TLT for the year!
