Donnie Gill - Happy Birthday friend :) I never recorded this while my mom was alive and it was on her list...it's a treat to do it now :)

I took a stab at this song in the Key of C.

This song was wrote and presented to me by Paul Roberts for my future banjo CD.

Arrangement and guitars by Alexander Kartoyev.

Banjo and vocal by me.

Ne Zabyvay Menya - my original words in Russian

An old but nice waltz tune

This is the first song that I wrote in country style for banjo. At first it was written in Russian language by myself. And now I'm happy that I can sing it in English too! This English version of lyrics for this song was written for me by my Banjo Hangout friend - Mike Gregory! I want to thank him very much for his great work about my Russian lyrics to translate it in English! So his name will appear on my future banjo CD where I add this song if you'll appreciate my performance of it. It is so great to creating real song together with my friend from another side of the Earth! All banjo parts by me; guitar, arrangement, record and mixing were done by Alexander Kartoyev who made my previous records too. Hope to see your comments here (especially about what you imagine while listening this song). It is very important and interesting for me :)

An old tune I fooled with playing dances in the 70's

This was recorded at Black Creek in 2008 with some friends.

Played in Wilbur's ( aka Mizzook ) simplistic and, to me, pretty style. I hope you like it, and thanks for listening. Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

With everyone's thoughts on the political season, I thought I would throw my hat in the ring..."The Ring Of Fire," that is. Again, my favorite bass player (my wife Lynn) accompanies me while I pick the banjo and guitar.
