I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- TWAUD_190816_01.JPG: Appalachian Stage
A bronze fiddle and quilt grace a bench while five bronze figures of dancers and musicians celebrate the significance of Appalachian culture in the community. IN 1927, Bascom Lamar Lunsford stages the first Mountain Dance and Folk Festival, an event that continues each year on the first Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights in August.
The above was from https://www.romanticasheville.com/sites/default/files/u13/Urban_Trail_map.pdf
- TWAUD_190816_05.JPG: Appalachian Stage
Since 1902, when the first city auditorium was built here, this area has been a center for entertainment and the preservation of Southern Appalachian culture. Acclaim has gone to composer Boscom Lamar Lunsford and playwright Hubert Hayes for celebrating mountain music and dance and to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild for promoting traditional crafts.
