My first blog...

Hello, really don't know where to begin...

At The PGA

It's a cover of a very well known song but we'll let you discover for yourself which one.

Here is an update on my daughter at ETSU. She went with friends from school down to IBMA in Nashville. She gets to do all the fun things I would have wanted to do. Way back since Freja was small, we have been listening to Tony Rice in the car. My two other daughters usually complain, but once in a while I and Freja can listen to what we want to. I have never had the chance to see Tony Rice, but always whished that I may have the chance some day. I told Freja before she left for IBMA that she… Continue

Aura Lee - Hatlee Band - Aura Lee instrumental video with lyrics
