A favorite song of Southern Gospel origin.

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

I was loaned a banjo by a first cousin, Gene Horne, a professional musician, for a couple of months to see if I could learn to play it.  This was just jamming to see what I could do.  Not up to Don Reno standards, but it is what it is.

JUST PICKIN

I'm an old guy of 80 and an amateur.  Justin is a fine young man and a very talented professional.  I appreciate him saving my music beyond my capability of playing anymore. If you hear a guitar or banjo, that's me.  All other instruments are Justin's music.  He's a talented guy. For you banjo critics out there, don't be too critical.  I only had 2 months to learn.
