Morningstar Sang at Noon

By Dylan Webster
Among the many performances and presentations for Appalachian Heritage Day was a concert by local musician Mike Morningstar. Morningstar played a blend of traditionally arranged folk songs, original compositions, and standards such as Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me.”

Joining Morningstar onstage was longtime cohort Rick Roberts. The two played a variety of stringed Appalachian instruments including banjos, mandolins and alternately tuned guitars. Those interested in this brand of music will be happy to know that these two also have recorded a CD entitled “Reunion.” It is available at Gallagher Music and other local music stores.
