Here’s a neat little clip of Ben & Rose’s breakout song, their cover of Dolly Parton’s “Slowly But Surely”. This time they’re playing it live “in the kitchen”, in what looks like a relaxing, no-shoes-necessary session 🙂 This is another short one, at just 20 seconds long. So they just get through a couple of lines. But enjoy nonetheless: You can listen to the full…
While the exterior is on the plain side (it’s a plainer community), and a bit unfinished…the interior of this Pennsylvania Amish home is simply picture-perfect. The community is New Wilmington, PA, where we’ve gone for several previous looks at Amish homes. You’ll see as we look inside the home lots of the characteristic shades of blue common to this community. The settlement is also known…
This happened at the beginning of the month – though this is the first time I’m seeing it reported on. An Amish farmer and father of five was struck by a pickup truck while walking home in Lancaster County, PA – leaving him in what sounds like quite bad shape. CBS 21 is picking up reporting on this, following a GoFundMe that has been started by a…
That’s according to one letter to the editor appearing at Lancaster Online – from a local person living in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. The letter-writer, Dennis, sounds fed up with what he describes as Amish e-transport riders being “oblivious” to traffic. And he has a few things to say about what he’s seen on local roads. I have heard of backlash to e-scooters…
Here’s another beautiful song from an Amish youth group singing. If the backdrop looks familiar, that might be because we previously heard two other songs from this same singing – “‘Tis Marvelous and Wonderful” and “I’m On The Winning Side” The video is by P. Thomas, who has an extensive collection of live recorded music on his channel, both from Amish and other Christian groups….
This stomach-turning story is just appearing on news feeds. Yesterday, a young Amish boy apparently escaped an abduction attempt in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. The alleged abductor is still at large. More from ABC 27: JUNIATA COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A boy in Juniata County was able to get away from a man who forced him into a vehicle on Tuesday, Pennsylvania State Police say. State…
Jim Halverson sends along a few fun photos from this past Saturday evening in northern Indiana. Basically, some shots of open buggies filled with Amish youth. They all seem to be having a blast, and happily waving to the camera. Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon/evening are the times you’ll see a lot of youth out and about in many Amish communities. And, if some who…
Here’s a song from Third Fret Harmony which dates back a couple of years. This is from the time when they were recording songs live on their own, prior to making produced studio music. But it’s a neat one to see as it includes all three siblings in the group – Mike, Marty, and Rose from Ben and Rose. The song is a cover of…
That buggy and debris trail look pretty bad. Fortunately, the Amish victim’s injuries are called “non-life-threatening”. Hopefully the same can be said for the horse, but that’s less clear (more on that below). This happened yesterday (Friday, September 12) in a community in Aroostook County, Maine. This massive county is home to no less than four separate Amish settlements. This happened in the Amish settlement…
In an article for Ashland County Pictures, Joe Lyons gives a poignant look at an Amish funeral from an outside observer’s eyes. That’s paired with some beautiful photos of the procession to the cemetery. This procession happened on State Route 96 in Ashland County. The area outside the city of Ashland is home to a sizable Amish settlement. The procession of buggies, vans, and people…
