Meaningful Last Minute Mother's Day Gifts
Mother’s Day is tomorrow. If that news puts you in a panic because between finals and hectic work days you have yet to get a gift, we are here to help. Our mothers do so much for us, from bringing us into this world to loving and sustaining us as we travel through it. For a lot of us, that role of mother extends to grandmothers, godmothers, and other significant women in our lives, too. Because of this, it’s natural to feel pressure to find the perfect gift to honor them on their day. Here’s some ideas for last-minute, but meaningful Mother’s Day gifts. Is your mom impossible to shop for? Use what you know! Recognize the passions you see in her and think about how you can buy a gift that supports her interests. Maybe she loves her quiet time in the morning — get her a new mug and her favorite tea to start off her day. Or maybe she loves springtime gardening — buy her a new pair of gardening gloves or some fun plants for her yard. By keying into her habits and hobbies, you can find a multitude of gift ideas and show your mom just how well you know her. Does your mom call you every day? Think about getting her a coffee shop gift card with the promise to catch up in-person. A gift like this is two-fold because you’re not just giving her a gift card, you’re giving her your time. This can be a great way to craft deeper meaning out of a simple gesture. Coffee tastes far better when shared with your mom, after all. Does your mom insist she doesn’t want a gift? Sometimes, when your mom says she doesn’t want anything, she does actually means it. The good news is you don’t have to buy her something to show her you appreciate her. Do something for your mom instead! Give the kitchen a deep clean, offer to run her errands, make dinner for her — and let her use her extra time to relax or do something she enjoys. Haven’t talked to your mom in a while? Flowers are an easy, yet beautiful gift you can give to your mom to show her that you’re thinking of her, even if your relationship has been distant. Paired with a short card or simple message, this can be a great way to acknowledge what your mother means to you and express an appreciation for her. Don’t forget the power of words! Texts are great, but there is something about receiving an actual card that makes the words even more impactful. And don’t forget, you can also send one along to your grandma, godmother, and any other mother figure in your life! Fiddle & Bluegrass Association Shindig Today

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - May 12
A.J. Foyt gets first pro victory 1957
On this day in 1957, race car driver A.J. Foyt (1935- ) scores his first professional victory, in a U.S. Automobile Club (USAC) midget car race in Kansas City, Missouri.
A tough-as-nails Texan, Anthony Joseph Foyt, Jr. raced midget cars–smaller vehicles designed to be driven in races of shorter distances–and stock cars before moving up to bigger things in 1958, when he entered his first Indianapolis 500 race. Foyt won his first Indy 500 crown in 1961, when rival Eddie Sachs was forced to make a tire change in the final laps, giving Foyt the chance to overtake him and win with a then-record average speed of 139.13 mph.
The 1964 season saw Foyt earn a record-setting winning percentage of .769 with 10 wins in 13 races. His most important win that year came in the Indy 500, which he finished with an average speed of 147.45 mph. After a near-fatal crash in a stock car race in 1965–in which he broke his back, fractured his ankle and suffered severe chest injuries–Foyt came back to continue his string of impressive achievements. In 1967, he won his third Indy 500 in a car he had designed himself, with his father Tony as chief mechanic. Two weeks later, he traveled to France and won the 24 Hours of LeMans international competition with teammate Don Gurney. With a win at the Daytona 500 in 1972, Foyt became the first driver to win all three major races in motor sports: the Indy 500, the Daytona 500 and the 24 Hours of LeMans.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
The duo Woodrow, based in Bushkill, PA, performs a variety of familiar classic rock, folk, and country tunes featuring songs from artists such as Fleetwood Mac, The Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Janis Joplin, Merle Haggard, and more. They can be seen at various local wineries, brew pubs, tasting rooms, small bars and coffee houses as well as larger outdoor festivals. They can also frequently be found supporting their local community and arts scene by performing at community festivals, art shows, and non-profit events. Guitarist and vocalist Brian Bramkamp's spacey-blues leads are inspired by greats
such as Jerry Garcia, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, and David Gilmore. Brian also writes the music and lyrics for all of the original tunes on Woodrow's upcoming album “Way Out in the Weeds”. Vocalist Theresa Ratliff takes the lead on most of Woodrow's cover tunes and originals. Theresa's vocal career started in musical theater at the age of 11 (although her mother will tell you she popped out singing!), but her passion has always been Rock and Blues. She takes her inspiration from strong female vocalists like Janis Joplin, Grace Potter, and Stevie Nicks and who fearlessly broke into the “boy's club” of
rock's lead singers. Woodrow also performs regularly with the Juggernaut String Band, with Brian on guitar and vocals and Theresa on vocals, ukulele, and percussion. The Juggernaut String Band performs a wide variety of music including covers of classic rock, folk, bluegrass, country songs, parade and sing-along songs, as well as original music.
Bill Graff is our featured artist. Bill was originally born and resided in N.J. I moved to the Pocono region in 1989 and have lived here ever since. He feels the picturesque scenery of the Pocono Mountains gives him inspiration for my art work. He is self-taught and his wildlife pictures are just beautiful. He recently retired and plans on devoting his time to his art work. He also enjoys painting on different materials such as antique saws, driftwood and anything that catches his eye while walking through yard sales or walking with nature in the mountains. He feels blessed to have this talent and immensely enjoys painting.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
Alex Allegra enjoys connecting with people through her music. She performs regularly, entertaining audiences with her original songs as well as select Country classics and Country Pop favorites. No stranger to the stage, Alex Allegra got her start studying acting, dance and vocal performance for more than a decade while participating in a number of local theater programs and audition-only choral groups. About 5 years ago, she combined some lyrics with one of the melodies she created, and her first song, Put Aside My Flaws, came to life. This new-found passion led to a breakthrough opportunity in the summer of 2015, when she was selected to attend the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp for aspiring singer-songwriters in Interlochen, Michigan. While there, she was featured in two public concerts, performing her first original as well as a song she wrote at camp. In August 2016, she launched her first music video featuring her song, Sayin' Goodbye, and in October of that same year, she released a demo CD, "My Journey," that features 7 of her originals. In the fall of 2017, Alex Allegra headed to Nashville to continue her music studies at Belmont University. You can learn more about Alex Allegra at www.alexallegramusic.com.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
Doc Pappalardo was suckled by Pennsylvania Dutch wolves and rescued by itinerant Sicilian Stone-cutters who settled on the banks of the Delaware River. Doc was raised up there in the wilds of Shawnee-on- Delaware, home to a ridiculous number of famous people, including Jackie Gleason and Mr. Green Jeans, whose bass still travels with the band. Doc fondly remembers listening to the Grand Old Opry on his Grandmother’s gigantic Philco radio in his formative days, when everybody else was listening to do-wop and top forty hits. Multi-instrumentalists, The Renegade Ramblers are a loose tribe of musicians who delight in playing blues and traditional and original bluegrass music, with brief raids into Irish and Americana music.
Tonight we welcome David Sandt, Photographer, of Star Mountain Studio, as our featured artist! David's pictures are a visual testament to the beauty of the Poconos and near-by regions. Dave has charmed many visitors with his shows and many beautiful pictures hang in a multitude of houses and businesses throughout the area. Dave will be showing and selling his beautiful pieces of art inside the depot.
