This beautiful house was the property of an English Church. The bricks used to build it were first, piled up to ballast boats arriving from England and transporting English settlers. Let me tell you it took a while build this wonderful house. The glebe would be worked by peasants on a regular basis, each one most likely working the glebe instead of the demesne once or twice a month.
It’s now owned by two charismatic New Yorkers, Ned -a lawyer, and Lynn, event producers who tours around the world. They now organize concerts and are involved in the Amherst cultural life.

Calm and offering a gorgeous scenery, the Glebe is also a “Bed and Breakfast”. You will visit the African goats and a nice, lush garden. Every year I use to play there but, because of water damages, the recital has been moved to the Museum…

Dear All:
It’s the third year in a row I play in Altavista, VA. As Barb & Len moved there a lot of their friends became my buddies too and we stayed in touch since my first visit.
Altavista is a nice small community in the Lynchburg area. The houses are beautiful and I enjoy taking evening walks all around. A lot of people stop and talk, very curious about who I am, my life and after a few days I met the whole neighborhood!
I’ve just gotten back from the concert, and it couldn’t have been any better! The house was packed for the concert, but that was before an influx of late folks showed up and had to stand up the whole concert as they couldn’t find a seat. We were “filled to capacity”, standing room only.
Many of the people who had attended the “Master Classes” in Lynchburg came, as well.
We had a nice buffet and “Merlot” at the intermission, and there were ample and delicious treats for everyone.
It was my friend Jewel’s birthday and instead of playing an “encore” I knocked off followed by the whole crowd “Happy Birthday to You”. She was blushing and moved to the tears as the whole audience was singing for her.

Her family was there to be part of it!
Thank you to Linda Ellis Williams, who came to thank everyone for their support. She was well received, and, per usual, represented the “Y” graciously and well. Of course my Sweet Linda was close by and we had a great, great time!
Thank you guys, for a wonderful time; and, thank you to all who helped to make this the success it has been for the third time!
