Tomorrow, I will have been married to my wife, Sandy for 15 years. We met in Champaign, IL and a year later we were married.

We have lived in Central Illinois, Michigan and for the last 10 years we have been in the Chicago Metropolitan Area.

I know that everyone says that their wife is their best friend, but Sandy truly is. The list of things that we don’t enjoy together is very small. The biggest thing she says she doesn’t like is….my banjo.

The funny thing is that she bought me my first banjo and everyone since then. Last month, she actually told me to get Neil Turner at Buzzard Mountian Banjos to cook something up for me. If that’s not love, I’m not sure what is.

To celebrate our time together, I would like to offer a 20% discount on Volume 1 of both Irish Pub Songs For The 5-String Banjo or Folk Songs For The 5-String Banjo at Lulu.com.

Just go to my page at Lulu.com and once you order, put in the coupon code SINK305 before checkout for 20% off of your purchase. The coupon is good for any order up to $100. Now you can order both books or other books from Authors at Lulu.com.

I’ll be back soon with more news!

I used the weekend to do some much needed work around the house and ended up spraining my finger. The bad news is that I won’t be putting up any videos for a little while and the good news is that I can offer you 15% Folk Songs For The 5-String Banjo Vol 1 and Irish Pub Songs For The 5-String Banjo Vol1.

It’s hard not playing my banjo and fretting anything for more than a minute with my right hand is a little painful right now. I am hoping that if I don’t use it for a while, it will heal up quickly.

To get the 15% discount, go to my page at Lulu.com at this link and then put in the coupon code MAYSAVE305 when you check out for an instant 15% discount.

I hope to be back soon.
