Heart and Hammer

Kerrville Finalists 2 years running...smooth as a baby's bottom

Heart and Hammer came together as a result of Julianna and Barry being married on September 16, 2001. Both being guitar players, performers, and songwriters, it was as natural as falling off a log. The CD, Time Flies, was produced by both of us, and includes the talents of Carl Smith (percussion), Skip Parente (fiddle), Kerry Williams (mandolin), John Carter (pedal steel), Mark Frethem (electric bass), Skip VonKuske (cello), Rick Hulett (acoustic guitar, electric bass), Jenny Conlee (accordian), and Chayne Williams (harmony vocals).

Story behind the song

Grandma's the one that got me started playing the guitar. She never knew how much it came to be a part of me.

Lyrics

Dear Grandma

Dear Grandma
Do you know that I'm a star?
And do you know it's all because
Of this old guitar that you gave me
Such a long time ago
I named it after you
Thought you'd like to know

Dear Grandma
Do you know I miss your face?
And peanut butter and jelly
On those story-tellin' days
And I still remember
In your rockin' chair one day you said
No matter where you go
Go your own way

Wish you didn't go when you did
You left all your love
In the heart of a little kid

Dear Grandma
I kinda miss the old Sunday school
Wouldn't have a God
If it weren't for you
And I still remember
The twenty-third psalm
And the change for collection
You slipped into my palm

Thank you Grandma
