Carlton and Sharon have been married for 37 years.  With Carlton being such a guitar enthusiast, Sharon has acquired significant knowledge of the guitar, and is a great resource for Carlton in this ministry.  In addition, she and Carlton have written many contemporary Christian songs together, and a link to purchase our CD's will soon be available elsewhere on the site.  In the meantime, send us an email if you desire one.  A Dual CD set is $10.00 plus $3.00 shipping - one of instrumentals (original and hymns), and the other is  all original Contemporary Christian songs. The songs are performed by Carlton, and most of the lyrics are by Sharon.

Rich Bailey
advisor
 
Rich Bailey is Carlton's cousin, and he and Carlton have been playing guitars together for over 40 years.  Rich and Carlton are more like brothers than cousins, and share a love for ministry and guitars.  Rich has been a guitar enthusiast most of his life, and he and Carlton taught each other most every lick they play today.  Known as "The Country Cousins", they perform in churches and other venues around Louisiana. Send us an email if you desire a CD of 24 Country Classics performed by the Country Cousins.  They are $7.00 plus $3.00 shipping.  A new Gospel CD by the Country Cousins will be out soon.  Rich and his wife Linda are very active in their church in West Monroe, LA. Rich's knowledge of the guitar is well established, and he is an avid player and collector. He is a key advisor to Carlton, and we are honored to have him on our team.

Paul Patsis
advisor
 
Paul Patsis, Seattle, WA, is President and CEO of one of the country's major insurance companies. Paul's friendship with Carlton began with them attending the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society festivals in Nashville.  Their first such meeting was 10 years ago, and their friendship still finds the guitar very much a bonding force.  Paul is very well known in the acoustic guitar circles, and can call some of the foremost names in the guitar world his personal friends. Some of his close friends are Grammy winners and National Fingerstyle Championship winners. His knowledge of the  guitar is incredible, and he has a true passion for the instrument. Paul is a vital part of our ministry, and we are fortunate to have him as a friend and advisor.
