HIS WALK WITH THE "LORD".
IN APRIL OF 2002 HIS WIFE SIGNED HIM
UP FOR UKELELE LESSONS
AT THERE CHURCH.
AFTER THREE WEEKS OF CLASSES AND
KNOWING ONLY THREE CORDS,
LEROY WAS READY TO GIVE UP AGAIN.
"THE LORD HAD ANOTHER IDEA,"
A FRIEND OF THE KERSEY'S
THAT ATTENDED THE SAME CHURCH,
CAME AND PRESENTED LEROY WITH AN
INSTRUMENT
CALLED A "BARATONE TIPLE"
{HE TELLS EVERYONE IT'S
CROSSED BETWEEN A UKELELE AND A
MANDOLIN}
THIS LITTLE "ONE OF A KIND" HAND MADE
INSTRUMENT"

VIOLIN CASE.
ONE WEEK OF RECIVING THIS AWESOME
LITTLE INSTRUMENT
LEROY WROTE HIS FIRST SONG, THANKS TO
THE GOOD LORD ABOVE

IN.
ALL OF THE SONGS ON THIS SITE HAVE
BEEN
WRITTEN AND SUNG BY LEROY,,
BUT KEEP IN MIND NONE OF THIS COULD
EVER BE
IF IT HADN'T BEEN TOUCHED
BY "THE GOOD LORD ABOVE"
