These old boots have a lot of miles on 'em. 

Jack Betts praises an old-fashioned music shop that heeds the craftsmanship of traditional, well-built instruments. 

Come, let us plant the apple-tree.
Cleave the tough greensward with the spade;
Wide let its hollow bed be made;
There gently lay the roots, and there
Sift the dark mould with kindly care,
And press it o’er them tenderly,
As, round the sleeping infant’s feet,
We softly fold the cradle sheet;
So plant we the apple-tree.

Back in 2007 we built a log home on our property in Patrick County, Virginia. 

For the more-than-four decades we've been coming up to Patrick County's Belcher Mountain, we've known there were some apple trees on the property — some old ones, in fact.
