Whilst I marketed my tape and built Hammered Dulcimers, I met Sheila. She rekindled my interest in the old fiddle and banjo tunes of the Southern Mountains known as Old Time music. At the same time I got involved in a Civil War reenactment organization (the 26th North Carolina Troops) and began to learn and research the music of that period. I put my interests in the Civil War and Old Time music together and came up with several recordings that have become favorites with both history buffs and lovers of traditional music. (By the way, Sheila and I got married in 94, and she plays the banjo on all my Civil War albums).
