As David played on his harp to soothe the savage beast that raged inside of Saul Ronnie used his musical skills to raise praises up to GOD Talented in his own right he could match chord for chord with any of the great musicians in the NW Georgia and Chattanooga areas He has played his last hymn packed up hymn books and Bibles and gone to that home on GOD'S celestial shore One day we shall see him again but in the meantime remember tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
