Banjo on Walloon is a musical tribute to a lake area, which is similarly representative of many beautiful and tranquil lake areas of Michigan. Many happy gatherings and float boat parties over the years inspired my hobby of singing and playing old time favorites with the banjo. Hail To Walloon are lyrics written to the tune “Heart Of My Heart”. It describes the happy life of those who visit or reside on the Walloon Lake area. This CD shares the inspiration with you.
