Welcome to my musical situation. I write 'em, I sing 'em. Some people like 'em. I hope you do too.
FEATURED SONGS:
Between Here & Hopeless
For these difficult and queasy times we are living through.
Prayer for the Prairie
A tribute to the great and largely lost prairies of the American west.
Strange Little Life
An appreciation of a life of imperfection, with great harmony and steel guitar.
Number Forty Three
A sincere but failed attempt to cheer up a despondent number.
For those sweet people who told me they liked my songs and wanted to hear more, I promised a website and this is it. Here are songs about all sorts of topics that are not normally fodder for songs.
There is a series of half-hour TV shows called Uncle Jon's Songwagon. These shows and a concert video are carefully situated at the bottom of this page to keep them a safe distance from all the single song pages. Some songs have videos, some don't. Life is not fair.

MORE on UNCLE JON
Below are seven old songs done on banjo and some guitar. My brother Jeeter can be seen in some of these, playing along. These great old songs were brought to me by The New Lost City Ramblers, who learned them from old 78s recording in the 20s and 30s.

Little Maggie
Beware, Oh Take Care
Hopalong Peter
John Hardy
Browns Ferry Blues
