About The Book

The third volume in this series focuses on the theme of nostalgia as Carl visits a variety of "old-time" places through the state. He chats with an old-fashioned barber who fretted about raising a haircut price to $6, visits two drive-in movie theaters, gets a gift from a general store owner, and gets to know some roadside vendors who take advantage of those famous W.Va. pull-off areas. Chapters are: Traveler’s Repose; Robert Head, poet; The Old Fiddler (Ivan Gorby); Lawn Art; Old Barbershops; Wanna Red Barn; Cook’s Mill; Grafton and Sunset Drive-in Theaters; General Store; Saving the Old Music; Roadside Vendors; An Old-Fashioned Auctioneer; Whisperin’ Gracie; Wandering into Difficulties.
