My family and I came to Ball's Creek Camp Meeting with my parents (Pete & Betty Jones). I grew up in the community but moved away as a teen. My dad always bragged on your talent and urged us to hear you. I'm sooo glad we did! My husband is a huge bluegrass fan and he was so impressed! We all thoroughly enjoyed the music and especially the old hymns that we grew up singing every Sunday at Mt Anderson. Amazing Grace always stirs me, but I had never heard the story of why/how it was written and hearing that moved me more than it ever has before. We bought a CD and have been singing along since then. Hope we can bring my husband's parents to Murray's Mill to hear you too. I know they'll get as much of a blessing as we did. Keep up the beautiful song!

I do enjoy your music, and my children do too. Since I ordered the CDs a few days ago (and BTW, thanks for the discount and fast shipping!!!)we have heard nothing else. I do wish the lyrics for "All That Really Counts" could be on the website. I have been blessed by that song. Thanks.

Hello everybody,
How are you? I hope you all had a good labor day weekend. Even though I had a tough week, I still kept things under control. On Friday, when I heard that my aunt was recovering slowly, I felt much better. Even though Aunt Renu is getting better and is continuing to do so, my mother is still leaving for India this Thursday and staying there for a week. While I was worried about her for the first four days last week, I really thought to myself that I want to go and see her. I wish my mother would take me to India to see all my relatives during my fall break, but since my mother found out that my aunt was too ill previously, she planned to go this Thursday. I hope I get to see Aunt Renu next summer and in the future. Like I said, I have all my friends and family members including aunts, uncles, and cousins, and of course my niece and nephew in my prayers 24/7. I hope you all are doing well! How is your grandmother/mother/great-grandmother? I hope she has fully recovered from pneumonia that she suffered from in May. Please give her my regards and hope she is in good health! Ben, how is your eye? I hope you are doing better from that eye injury. Lorien, how was your birthday? I hope you had a good one! I also hope you got all my cards! Happy Birthday to you again!
God Bless you all! Love, Kavitha

I am engaged to Brian Drum from Sherrills Ford and heard you for the first time last night at Balls Creek Campground. I truly enjoyed hearing some of the old gospel hymns that I grew up hearing in church and hearing my mom sing. I would love to hear you sing 'I Saw the Light' next year. I bought two of your CD's for my father, who is an old-time Baptist preacher. May God Bless each of you and your families as you continue to sing.

Daufuskie Island SC 29915, South Carolina

I suggested to John Jr. last year that you all consider working up a rendition of the Navy Hymn for national celebrations like the July 4 parade in Blowing Rock etc. The great old hymn has been expanded to salute all three principal services, and I think the formal name is now "Eternal Father Strong to Save." John Jr. emailed me back to disclose that the hymn is in the public domain, which led me to hope that the Family would perform it this spring or summer. So far, I've been disappointed.
We missed your annual visit to the Blowing Rock parade; it was raining so hard on Ski Mountain that we never left the house. Then on the following weekend at Sugar Grove, David told my son that the Family played in the BR park after all. David said the the sun appeared late in the parade and the entire program was presented.-- Dick Slay
P.S. -- And best wishes for Ben's continued recovery.

Hello everybody,
How are you? I have some exciting news for you. I did well in my computer class during my summer session. I got a B+ and this is one point away from an A. Anyway, after my session got over, I went to Chicago and saw Neharika and her parents, my Aunt Uma, Uncle Jayanth, and my cousin Aarthi (Vignesh's sister). I hope all of you got to see the two pictures I sent you of Neharika and myself. She was such a happy baby in my presence and I wish she was my first daughter at this point. That is how cute she is! Lorien, happy early birthday to you! Enjoy your birthday! I hope you all are doing well and hope Ben is doing better! I hope all goes well for you! God Bless you! Love, Kavitha

Dear Cockman Family, your music is the best Gospel music I have ever run across. My background is full of Gospel Bluegrass music, my brothers also blessed with that talent. Growing up in the South I loved it as a child and now that I'm in the North I miss it so much, but your music has blessed me very much. Thank you for sharing the talents GOD has given you. GOD Bless You all.

I have enjoyed your music for 2 years now at the Singing on the Mountain. I have 2 of your cds and my grandson listens to the Butterpats Volume 2 every night when he goes to bed. I tried to find their first cd for him, but no luck as of yet. I know he would love to see them in person so we will try to catch an upcoming event. If so, would it be possible for him to meet them? He is 2 years old and just loves pretty little girls. I know it would help him to put faces with the beautiful voices he listens to every night.

We were at your concert at Music Fest in Sugar Grove yesterday, July 13 and really enjoyed your music. You started off with Victory in Jesus, one of my mother's favorites. Wish she could have been there to hear you. She passed away in 2006 at the age of 94. It was great to hear the grandchildren sing. We have four little granddaughters and they are very special to us. Thank you for a wonderful program. We did see you last year at Singing on the Mountain and hope to be up at Fred's on Sunday to hear you again. Raymonda Luginbuhl

I brought my next door neighbor, Peggy Whittaker, to the sugar Grove concert this afternoon. She had not heard you before and enjoyed it very much-as did I. You played my favorites- the old gospel songs. Those grandkids are darling and show so much talent already.
I'm still grateful that you sang a benefit for Watauga Habitat for Humanity several years ago. I remember you raised about $2000 for us which was a lot of money in those days. I'm still giving some of my time and money to HfH. My best to all of you. Eula Mae Fox

It's been years since our son Chris took us to one of your concerts when we visited him in Tennessee. Over the years I have listened to the 3 cassette albums you gave us at the concert. I discovered and bought your Christmas album DVD. I watch that DVD more than just at Christmas time. Though we met you just that once, I have enjoyed knowing you and your music. If you should get near us in a trip out West, would be wonderful to know about it to at least come and see you all again. Blessings, LeRoy Galley Bellingham, WA

Hi there, How are you? I would love to tell you all how blessed I am with a niece like Niharika. I am delighted to see her personally and in photos. She is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen, and I hope to go see her in Chicago, and her parents are lovely. As an aunt, I cannot wait to go to Chicago and hold her for as long as I like, but with their permission, and soon she will know that I began cooking when I was 1 or 2 and I am a wonderful cook. Her father is my maternal cousin and he is Vignesh, and Anu is her mother. I am really like Vignesh because he picked the right person to be married to which was Anu, and they were married from December 2005 on. I sent a picture of Niharika to John Jr., and if you want to see her, feel free to ask him to show it to you. I hope to see you all someday! Bye for now! Love, Kavitha

Hi there,
How are you doing? I completed my fourth semester in college successfully and I am taking one course this summer. I am taking a computer course related to my major which is Early Childhood. I go back to school on May 19th and I only go to school twice a week. Ladies, how are you doing? Happy Mother's Day to you (if you are a mother). I hope your children do something special for you on that day, and your husbands help you out during the day. It is not good to do housework on your own on a very special day. I hope you enjoy your special day! John Jr., how are your parents? I hope they are doing well and please give them my regards when you get a chance. I hope your doctorate courses went well and I wish you well! I will talk to you all later! God Bless you all! Love, Kavitha

Caroline was my son Josh's 3rd grade teacher at LCA I have the promise cd and I am really enjoying it. This might be crazy but explain the song The Promise to me please.
The Bridegroom is Christ, and the kitchen girl is His Church (Eph. 5:25). He pledges His love to her, then leaves to prepare a home for her (Mat. 9:15, John 14:2). She patiently prepares for His return, even though she endures persecution (Luke 18:8, Rev. 19:7). True to his promise, the Bridegroom returns and sweeps her away (1 Cor. 15:51).
Do you sell a cd w/music only that I can sing with at my church?
No, I'm sorry, we don't have any soundtracks!

Hello everybody,
How are you? I hope you all had a very good month of February (last month of winter). Are you all waiting for the warm weather? I am because I love going to the beach, swimming in the pool, and walking down my street by means of exercise. John Sr. I hope you are doing well because your son John Jr. told me you had back problems. I hope everything goes well for you! Kids, how is your music coming along? Good luck in everything, everybody! I hope everything goes well for you! It has been a tough month for me, but I am slowly getting it together. Tomorrow is my maternal grandfather's birthday, and if he was alive, he would be 92 years old. He lived a long life and was really healthy. Have a good day! Bye for now! Love, Kavitha

We're still humming songs from this afternoon's concert at Hendersonville's First United Methodist Church. Thank you for providing us with an incredible afternoon of beautiful music. It is wonderful to see and hear y'all again, and it's fantastic to see all of your cute children. They are precious and very talented. With all of the Cockman genes, how could they be otherwise? God Bless each of you in your ministry.

Hello everybody,
How are you? I hope you all are doing well! Are you all waiting for the warm weather? I am because I am going to the beach, maybe go to India and UK (to help my future stepmother pack all her things and move out). My step-mother will be moving here because my father will be married to her from June or July on. I would say that I had the most hectic week ever because of my grandfather's death and the fact I had to go to school. Even though I was unhappy, I still managed to go to school, but one day, I had this horrible tension headache and I happened to cry a lot that day because of my grandfather. Like I was telling John Jr., it is hard to lose a close relative like a grandparent. I really loved my grandfather so much. After that, my grandmother was crying a lot and thought of him spiritually. Anyway, Arwen, happy birthday to you! Hope you enjoy your card when you get it. Please check your email inbox for my card. Everybody else, have a good and restful week! Happy Valentine's day everybody!!! God Bless you! Love, Kavitha

Hello everybody,
How are you? I hope you all are doing well during this season. I have had a sore throat because of the cold and I am doing what it takes to get better. I have been going to school, but I have just been coughing. I would like to play in the snow like the way I did as a child. I hope it snows again so that I could ride a sled all the way down to the playground. John Sr., happy birthday to you! Hope you enjoy your birthday! Arwen, happy early birthday! Enjoy! Arwen and John Sr. I have sent e-cards for your birthdays! John Sr. yours is sent tomorrow, and Arwen your e-card comes on your birthday! Bye for now! What a blessing to know a family like all of you! Love, Kavitha

I was so excited when I googled your name and it came up!! I downloaded the only c.d. that was offered on ITunes onto my ipod. Your songs have taken me through so many valleys and put me up on the mountain top with VICTORY. GOD IS SO. GOOD. I have listened to your music now for about 20 years. Remembering the time that I had the pleasure to sit in your home abd listen to you at the very beginning. I will keep in touch and hope that you will respond to my email.

Hello everybody,
How are you? I have no words to describe how much of a blast I had during my winter holidays. Even though my mother was in India, I had a great time with my father and the rest of my family. I got to cook away, read, relax, listen to exotic christmas carols, see your christmas show, and go places. What a blessing it is to know such a wonderful group of musicians like you all! I really love your music. I hope you have a good new year holiday and you all got my cards for christmas and new years day! I guess you all will be seeing Dick Clark's New Year Bash at 9:00-12:00 pm tonight! By the way, my 21st birthday is on January 9th! God Bless you all! Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! Love, Kavitha

Hello everybody,
How are you all? I hope all of you are doing well! I have just been busy with all my school work. For example I have a research paper for English 111 due on October 26th. I planned to do that on Ravi Shankar a famous Indian classical musician who plays the sitar. I have not heard from you all in a long time. How are Ben and Melissa? It was a blessing to hear that they are now married. I wish I came to the wedding, but I had pink eye and ear infection that time (during Christmas break). I would love to be posted on how they are doing and when they are going to have their first child. Babies and Children, I hope all of you are doing well and are getting ready for school or doing well in school. John, Jennifer, John Sr. Mary, Caroline, Kelly, Billy and family, and David and family, hope you all are doing well along with the children. I hope to see you all someday! Namaste (I bow to you or god bless you!) Love, Kavitha

Hello everybody,
I hope all of you are doing well! I am getting ready to relax during an upcoming fall break that starts Thursday! I am so glad to hear that you all are going through this weather change, but it is hard for me to. I would like to tell you all that I want it not to get cold ever because I not only like to go to the beach, but I love wearing skorts (skirt combined with shorts), dresses, skirts, and capri pants. In India, there is no winter whatsoever, and the temperature goes down to 70 only. I am talking about Bangalore, Madras and all of the southern part of India. ONLY IN THE NORTHERN, EASTERN AND WESTERN PARTS OF INDIA, it gets cold and most of the time snow falls. Anyway, I would be delighted to see you all someday and hope your christmas show airs on PBS again! God Bless you all! Love, Kavitha

Kids, how is school going for you? Parents, how are you doing? Babies, I bet you are looking forward to starting preschool eventually or even just start kindergarten. Lorien, happy birthday to you!

I did a lot of cooking this summer, shopping and other fun things.

I remember the first time I heard your guys music. I was nothin' but a child and I remeber feelin' like I wanted to dance. My father's a minister and I've been raised on gospel music, but I had never heard gospel sung the way you all sang it. We were at a church camp meetin' in NC, which was one of the first times I'd been to another state, and we didn't know what to expect. But I tell you we got a lot. The first song I ever heard you all perform, was 'Before The World's Foundation' and I was hooked. That year I forced my mother to by one of your CDs and we litrally wore it out , because we listened to it so much. LOL!!! The following year I didn't have to force her to do anything she bought them all... It has been a blessing listening to your music these past nine years and I look forward to hearin' some more.
May the Lord richly bless each and everyone of you and may you all continue to bless others.
Until we meet again...
Yours in the Lord,

I had the blue fiddle this year and tried to play while trying to watch John Jr.'s fingering but i couldnt keep up. We both love listening to everyone sing, and we hope to see yall again next year.

It was refreshing to see your family perform and to know that there are still families in the world that enjoy being together. God has truly blessed you with talent beyond measure.

My mother and I attended your concert at the Rally for Riley.
