From the June 2021 issue of the monthly magazine West VirginiaVille.com

When West Virginia’s often dispiriting politics get me down, I tend to look up. Into blue skies. Into wind-rustled branches of the state’s endless trees. At hula hoop dancers at sunset on a steep-pitched mountain in the outback. Mixing homegrown images with homegrown music is a kind of knitting or quilt-making to me. I invite you to take five minutes from feeling harassed by the news or our own hectic heads for “Sonata for Piano & West Virginia No. 1,” by my new musical confabulation, The SCRIBBLERS. It offers another way of looking at West Virginia and those parts that remain uncorrupted, fresh, and true. ~ Douglas John Imbrogno
