I was lucky enough to play with John Winston on fiddle and Eileen MacCallum on the Box. We were known as McGinnis Ferry.

..a note on the sound quality...these were recorded on what I fondly termed "Dockside Studios" which is s 29 foot Cal sailboat that I was living on at the time using free recording software. I recorded the voice, guitar, banjo, and bodhran tracks myself.
It was a fun project. And if you guys read it thanks to the Soundclick Staff.
I am a Fireman south metro Atlanta. I was never a pro musician and never fooled meself to think that I was. I have seen more than some and less than others. This music will always hold a special place to me...I was lucky to play it for others. I am also thankful for you stopping by to listen.
