A traditional, American folk song first published by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky circa 1913!

Man of constant sorrow!

The amount of attention, my music receives continues to amaze me!A big thank you to everyone of my listeners, and of course, those of you who ￼ have chosen to follow me! I appreciate every “like” I get and every repost! You inspire me! ☺️￼￼ ￼￼ a ￼I’ve written a few songs over the years and now that I’m retired and have all the time in the world, I’m dusting them off and recording them… For posterity if nothing else. I’m also writing some new ones. It’s a lot of fun! 

Now, a little about me… I’m a recovering alcoholic with over 36 years of continuous sobriety. I’m also a former pastor, retired now after 25 years. Five years ago, I lost the love of my life to ovarian cancer, so that also makes me a widower. And oh yes… i’ve been blind for over 36 years! in spite of all that, exciting adventures, new experiences and love continue to fill my life with joy! If you wanna know more, just ask! ☺️￼ ￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.

Man of constant sorrow!
