My submission this go-around is a medley of two rarely-heard tunes:

Red Haired Boy and Whiskey Before Breakfast. It is my fervent hope that by playing these songs over and over that people everywhere will gain a true appreciation for these tunes and that nary a day will go by that you don't pass strangers on the street with these two tunes on their lips and everyone will join in in harmony and the world will at last know the joy of true peace. All from these two songs.

Hey, it "could" happen.

This medley was performed by Rose in the Heather and features Julie Samudio on fiddle, Mike Samudio on rhythm guitar, John Parrot on bodhran, Curt Erickson on bass and yours truly on flatpick guitar. This tune was recorded in the auditorium of my employer, Metro One Telecommunications using a Roland VS880EX.

Instruments I used: '99 Taylor 710-CE, using a yellow Dunlop .73 pick.

Many thanks to my wife, Karen for encouraging me to play and explore new horizons with music. Thanks also to Mom and Dad for opening me up to the happiness to be found in music.
