Just because...
Til the end of the world rolls ’round I’ll keep on loving you
As long as the sun goes up and comes down
And the big blue sky goes down to the ground
As long as the world goes round and round I’ll keep on loving you
I tried to sail the sea of life I rowed my boat alone
Your love meant nothing to me dear my heart was made of stone
To a harbor filled with loneliness my little boat was moored
And on the day I first met you I fell right overboard
Whenever you’re around me dear my heart just won’t stand still
And when it comes to kissing you I’ll never get my fill
They said I’d never settle down that I would always roam
That I could never be the type for a loving wife and home
So now I know the way I felt was only selfish pride
I thought my heart was fireproof but you burned your way inside
So tell me what I’ve got to do and tell me how it stands
The cards are on the table dear my life is in your hands

My Instruments:
1. Custom made Stewart MacDonald kit with arch top and custom hand carved inlays.
2. 1964? Dixie Banjo Uke (not currently playable)

8. Epiphone by GIbson strat-like electric
9. Washburn acoustic guitar with electronics (my father-in-law bought this just a few months before he passed away...very special guitar)
10. Bell and Son Boucher minstrel banjo that I built from a kit. I play this one with Roscoe, Lee and Abadie, a reenacting antebellum and Civil War era trio. Update - this banjo was destroyed in the flood of 2016.
11. Gardner Boucher-style - Unable to restore my Bell and Son Boucher, and having limited funds available, I purchased a Gardner minstrel banjo from Don Gardner in Ohio. Great tone and workmanship for the price!
