There was 3 people sitting outside... The owner, Pal Ireland her son and daughter. They told us they closed it down 5 years ago. They did invite us in. WOW..the building came alive as Pal told us stories and showed pictures on the walls. Pal's face lit up as she talked about the music made in there.. she sang with Dolly Parton at the request of Bill Monroe. If you ever heard Bill Monroe tell that someone once said he hit a sour note or two... That someone was Pal !! I wish we could have went into that place when it was open and busy. Thank you for your hospitality..we enjoyed our visit.Bubbles from Gastoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127810973340703672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-85452740394193759462011-05-26T00:14:37.582-04:002011-05-26T00:14:37.582-04:00Just by chance we had the great luck to stop in to...Just by chance we had the great luck to stop in to the Cook's Shack last Sat. 5/21/11.<br />Your article is right on the mark. The shack is , for me, a one of a kind musical experience . As soon as I opened the door and heard the music playing I knew I was some place special. The conversations I had with the owners and the customers made me feel like I had been coming for years. Could not leave without buying a few CDs from LW. Played them on my 9 hr ride home to Pa.. ( smile ) <br />I hope this visit will not be my last. <br />Thanks to all the musicians for sharing such talent.<br />Vince Arsenault<br />710 Cressman Rd<br /> Harleysville Pa arsenaultv@verizon.netarsenaultvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628127414631860931noreply@blogger.com
