I've had fun playing this blues waltz for dancing the last few years. It will be on my
new waltz CD that I am doing with Ginny Snowe, and features great playing by
Billy Novick and Annie Raines. Remember to play Leroy's with dotted eighth notes.

Two Rivers is probably the favorite tune of mine that I've written. I wrote it as I sat in a
campground overlooking Lake Michigan while playing the banjo. It has ben recorded many times and
is on the Uncle Gizmo CD.

I wrote Jefferson Road on the mandolin while staying at Susie Lorand's house
on Jefferson Road in Princeton, NJ.

John C Campbell School in Brasstown NC. led by me. I made a few slight changes in the B part

I
