A minister was completing a temperance sermon.

With great emphasis he said,
"If I had all the
beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."

With even greater emphasis he said,
"And if I had all the
wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said,
"And if I had all the
whisky in the world, I would take it and pour it into the river."

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing,

Hymn 365,

"Shall We Gather at the River."

Antanus Casimere Zemaitis, or Tony as he was known, was born in 1935 and died in 2002. His desire to constantly hone his craft and improve on each guitar led him from acoustic to create the Metal Front on electric guitars to reduce the hum.

Zemaitis International engaged the service of Danny O-Brien, the master engraver on the Metal Front and Pearl Front to help in passing on the craft and spirit of Tony Zemaitis to future generations.
