Description: License options are available for this song. Fingerstyle on a classical guitar with steel-string backing, and several random items smacked around for percussion. The 'clank' sound is a half-full can of Dr Pepper struck with a ball-point pen, and heavily reverbed.

Hi, my name is Joe. I play guitar. I hope you like it. If you do, great! If not, that's fine too.

I've been playing since the mid eighties, but only recently have I begun to perform in public.

Story behind the song

I wrote this song for my daughter before she was born.  I don't have a singing voice, so the words are not on the recording.

Lyrics

Hand me down your legend
Hand me down your lore
Teach me everything you know
and then teach me some more

Chorus:
     Hand me down the faith of our Fathers
     as they passed down the faith to their Sons
     Teach me how to live in the Spirit
     and when you think I'm ready
     entrust to me His will to be done

Teach me by example
that I might understand
to build my house upon the Rock
and not upon the sand

(chorus)
