May You have a Happy New Year also. I could set and listen to YOU play all night and never get tired. FIVE *****. I agree with Mike please keep playing her music. You are always saying GUYS.

[Ridger1978]

Thanks so much Darlene. I will have to remember to use correct speech the next time I post a video lol! I will say you all instead of guys or gals. Thanks for correcting me lol- take care- William

[deskyles]

OH , I had to tease You a little bit. NO problem now you said you was going to add the banjo and fiddle to your picking and singing. YOU must get on that piano setting there it looks lonesome and it is going to be real jealous if you don't play it some. LOL

[sherrilynn115oo]

Hey William!! You are just awesome! I so enjoyed this one too!!

[Ridger1978]

Thanks Sherri, I'm glad you liked it

[MoJoPiano]

William, I remember when Gene Watson came out with this. I have his recording of this one around here somewhere. Well buddy, no one can "Pick The Wildwood Flower" as well as you, except for one other great lady I knew of, and she is no longer with us. Don't ever stop playing her music William. God bless you my friend, and have a wonderful 2009! Mike

[Ridger1978]

I appreciate it Mike, I hope you have a great New Year as well. Take Care my buddy- William
