Jerry. It's that blend of southern black gospel, with the country/bluegrass feel, with that Jamaican touch that makes your music what it is. And I love it.    Of course I would though... being from Michigan myself, used to love attending "All Night Gospel Sings", and when my family would travel to Florida to visit Grandma, I couldn't wait till we'd hit the southern states where I could hear that Bluegrass Sound, which for some reason I took a liking to (much to the disdain of my younger siblings, as I sat in the front seat and claimed control of the radio dial) Somewhere along the line, I discovered the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer, which I include with my hammered dulcimr playing, celtic harp...etc. Maybe some of this explains why I love your music.
