Thanks for thinking so Ferdie. I am of questionable talent but what talent I have is God given. Been plinking at it since I was about 13 which makes that 38 years. I love to play but like Steve I just can't hardly find the time anymore.
Her is a couple of my best that is recorded:
This one is on facebook and I tend to sing this at funerals pretty regular:

This one aint no guitar playing but one of my proudest moments. My Mama died on November 2, 2012. She had insisted that her funeral not be a cry fest. I was able (by the grace of God) to do all the music. This isn't my greatest vocal performance ever but in the circumstances it wasn't bad maybe.

Here is a song that i wrote. I have only written this one song and one other in my life. My grandmother died in 1991, and my grandfather died in 1994. He died early in the morning like around 2 am. when I got home from the hospital around daylight I wrote this song in about 20 minutes. The first one is me doing three tracks of guitar and the vocals. The second one is a studio cut of the same song with me doing none of the music:

Anyhow that's me, and sorry to overload the thread with this but felt like sharing it.
I did have the privilege of playing backup to Steve's dad once while he played the dulcimer and that was a great deal.
