THE OHIO WEAVER presents . . .

William Marshall, born in Motherwell, Scotland, November 11, 1920. His parents were John and Agnes Marshall from Motherwell, now deceased .

My beloved Bill passed away on July 5th, 2002 at age 81 of pneumonia. He had a full military honors funeral and was interred in our country's new National cemetery, OHIO WESTERN RESERVE NATIONAL CEMETERY, in Rittman, Ohio.
Bill had served in the U S Coast Guard in World War II in the North Atlantic.
On his plaque it says: HE WAS A LOVING MAN
Our act is now over here but I know he's making some booking dates for us in Heaven. I'll be seeing you soon my Love.

Midi music for those who need to hear an OLD FASHIONED melody played by two old fashioned musicians, Bill and Diane Marshall of Lakewood, Ohio.
"THE TRAVELIN' TROUBADOURS OF OHIO"

I play 12 instruments in performance, began when I was 4, play all by "ear" as we used to say. Bill plays Echo Harp and Bodhran and is the Dance Master of the frogs. We play at Private parties,Fund raisers, Festivals, Librarys, and any occasion where professional musicians are appreciated for their versatility and wide variety of Musical Styles.

When "The Travelin' Troubadours of Ohio" perform at your Children's party, or festival, we always BRING OUT THE FROGS!

Our famous DANCING FROGS are always a show-stopper! Even audience members are asked to join in the dance performance of MR. GROGWUMP, our frog with an attitude--CAPTAIN AHAB, who owns a yacht and is a very happy frog, and our little French frog PIERRE, who just smiles when he dances!

RIGHT BRAIN REST MUSIC

The newest music therapy for EVERYONE. The pleasant way to relax your brain and relieve the tensions of life! A wonderful gift for yourself and your friends that is totally unique. Not sold in any other place but here~ right from the inventor. The right side of our brain is considered the CREATIVE side, and here is the music to relax it so NEW CREATIVITY can begin.

Listen to the GLASS ARMONICA, invented by Ben Franklin in 1761. A truely unique sound--like rubbing your finger around a glass. This was the FIRST musical instrument to be granted a patent in America!
Used by Dr. Mesmer (considered the Father of hypnotisim in America) who used to "mezmerize" his patients into a relaxed state.

And here is a great collection of FREE midi music to listen to, to learn the lyrics and tune, of some Old Time America music once taught in our schools in America. Alas, not any more. This is our attempt to preserve these songs so that future generations can remember when we were a nation who taught their children to sing and to be civil to each other. Alas, not any more.

Many songs with the lyrics!
