My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean


Well not really, she actually lies over the state line in Alabama.

This is an old Scottish song and the photo of my eldest grand daughter.

El Shaddai


El Shaddai means God is almighty and one of several names or God in the Old Testament used by the Jewish/Hebrew nation of Israel.

Silent Night


I am using an Eastman oval hole mandolin, a John Arnold 12 fret dreadnought guitar, and a J.W. Green fiddle for this Christmas classic.

Hurt


I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting

Old Gospel Ship-Wildwood Flower Medley

Wildwood Flower:
The original title was "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets". The song was written in 1860, with words by Maud Irving and music by Joseph Philbrick Webster (1819-1875).

"I'll twine 'mid the ringlets of my raven black hair,
The lilies so pale and the roses so fair,
The myrtle so bright with an emerald hue,
And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue"
