a musical sequel to "The Paleface," another tune of mine...

After seeing a great interpretation of Loren and Mark, i decide to make a transcription for the 5 string, hope i didn't butcher it ...

sound test of -string 14" TuBaBone

Me trying out my new fretless long neck banjo from Pisgah Banjo Company.For the first time. I've obviously got learning to do, but fell free to help out with advice.

This song took longer to write than any song I ever written. It was begun on the afternoon of the day I first told my wife that I loved her and was finished just before Valentines day of our 30th anniversary. My son had just broken up with the girl he eventually would marry and we were talking about how you knew you'd found the right girl. It occurred to me that time is how you know it's really real, and I had my title.

I was fooling around with this song one night using my banjo mute (a device designed to keep the marriages of banjo players and their spouses together) and decided that I like the way it sounded. Best know version was by Bobby Darren, but if you haven't heard Tim's you can find it on youtube
