This collection, WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, forever changed...

He then falls in love with that man's widow (Gene Tierney), but stands by as her father (Tom Tully) is charged with the murder.

He is an expressive singer, a masterful player of a host of stringed instruments (notably guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin) that he brings into play not just with skill but with taste that could only come from years of respectful playing, listening, jamming, and grace from the Almighty. This set was rendered digital under the auspices of Jody and long-time fellow traveler...
