We do our shows 2 or 3 times a week in local retirement and nursing homes.I thought this song was a little sad but it seems to touch both the Irish and "I am getting old" strings of the heart. Some of the workers stopped what they were doing and listened to the song. Several of the people in wheal chares lifted their heads and smiled at me. There are some people in the banjo club who are quick to tell others how to do things and how they could do it bette. They were complementary saying things like you really nailed that one.

I played accordion and tuba as a child. I took up the 6 string guitar in connection with the revival spirit (Cursillo) Movement in my church. When I moved to the west coast from Virginia where I was stationed with the Army; I found that I could not keep up with the speed of the guitar players. They needed bass players more than 6 or 12 string players so I converted. I think I can cut quite a good rag in that venue with my bass banjo or other. I began playing my Beetles bass with a 5 string player and he got me interested in a Bass Banjo. Then I added the Tenor. I play the tenor when he is not with me and I need to lead the singing. I spend about every Saturday and Sunday with church, Kairos, or Cursillo music gigs. No money but a lot of love for the Lord. I now play 3 to 4 times a week with The Tacoma Banjo Club. We play at retirement homes and civic activities In the Tacoma Wa. area. http://web.me.com/tacomabanjo/Site/WELCOME_.html
