Allen Dale Sizemore at MoonShadow, Deep Creek Lake, MD

Allen Dale Sizemore at MoonShadow

MoonShadow 145 Bumblebee Road, McHenry, MD, United States

Allen got his first guitar from the trash. Growing up in the hollow of Trout Valley WV, they were hard to come by. His uncle brought it to him, an old Harmony, one string, hole in the back. But, to him, it was a piece of magic. He would sit and fool around on it, picking out melodies. That summer, his Uncle T taught him some banjo chords when Allan would come up to split kindling, carry in water from the old well, mow the grass, or whatever needed to be done. He did that for all his Aunts and Uncles in the valley, and there was always plenty to do.
