This is my dad, Lawton, on fiddle, and Fowler on guitar. They are jammin' in Don Wood's "living room" (you probably can't see it, but there's a drill press behind my dad, and other tools scattered amongst the furniture):
Here are Fowler (on the left) and my dad enjoying a watermelon out on Jack Willis' dock:

This final photo is one of my favorites. From left to right are David, me, Fowler, and Rob. Lachlan is in the front, standing on our crock of homemade Ocracoke meal wine.

Thanks for sharing your memories & photos of Folwer. The old ones are really treasures, hate to see them go. Loving thoughts to his family and island friends.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts and blessings go out to family and friends of Fowler. He will be truly missed but memories of his life, ways, and especially his laughter will be with us always! Thank you Philip for sharing your thoughts and photos. As always, your blog is our "happy place"!
