Marty was my music partner for many, many years. And he was such a perfectionist that he only made on tape before he died. The tape has since been transformed into a CD. The album's name is: Autoharpistry!
It's a wonderful CD and Marty shows off his musical skills and innovation and even slips in his banjo strung with weed eater chord.
It's sad, really,that Marty was never sure he was good enough. If that hadn't been the case, we would have more CDs to remember him by.
I'm lucky, though. I have five or six tapes that Marty made while we were sitting on his porch playing....many hours of great musical fun!! I made the tapes into a CD since that's what we are all using at the moment!!
Thank you,
