Commissioned by Bridging the Gap

Blue Ridge Dreams is a collection of short pieces suggested by imagined — and not so imagined — experiences along the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Southern Appalachians.

Big Stone Gap

A cold winter afternoon in the town of Big Stone Gap. Folks sit around the fire pickin’ and sawin’ (so to speak). Can’t quite agree on what to play though…

Shenandoah Mist

A crisp fall morning in White Oak Canyon. A soft mist gently rises amidst the quiet solitude. It briefly lifts to reveal a blaze of Autumn glory, then settles back down. Time moves slowly, as it always has.

Nolichucky Bridge

On a rough trip down the ‘chucky river in a raft, we get twisted by rapids and dropped into holes. Just trying to make it to the bridge before getting tossed out.
