Warrenton and Fred’s father Cy.

Music dropped by the wayside for a while during bouts of total immersion in photography. But after his move to “Little" Washington, Tompkins picked up his guitar again.

People started asking about gigs so he reorganized partners from an earlier bluegrass band, banjo player Mark Maggiolo of Hume and Alexandria attorney Alan Cohen, now on mandolin with None of the Above. They were joined by Joe Brady on bass with Judy Chappie of Hume adding her voice to Charlie’s on vocals.

As the Casanova Cut-Ups, ♦hey’ve plucked and strummed foot-stompin’ bluegrass in Fauquier and Rappahannock for the past several years.

Music Reflected

In Photography

Tompkins’ involvement with music is reflected in his photography. Among the still lifes and woodland scenes on exhibit at the Dubenetz gallery are shots of Flat and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, John Duffy, the Country Gentlemen and other big name bluegrass performers captvttd oii film at festivals and shows.

Music is important to Tompkins IniL. it's photography thfat absorbs most of his energL. He borrowed lyricls frum a musical1 classic/to explain: “Life ijlik^/a mountain railway wltKan engineer so brave. We must make each run successful from the cradle to the grave.’ Those words from a favorite country hymn say a lot about the way the world appears to me, that is, something of a mystery. Photography to me is a means of recording some of the mysteries that appear."
