My wife and I attended the Red Eighth Annual Wing Roots Music Festival Friday, July 9, 2021, in Mt. Solon, Virginia. It was fun to hear the Steel Wheels and other bands, many of whom hadn’t played live performances since before the pandemic began. Here, Trent Wagler and the Steel Wheels open the show.
I met Dr. Steve Nolt (left) at Elizabethtown College, Pa., on June 28, 2021, to plan to write a history book about Virginia Mennonites. Steve hosted me at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies.
