Right now I play 2 Chuck Lee Marble Falls, both with Bill Rickard tubaphone tone rings. I love sampling other banjos, but have settled on Chuck's for their consistent performance (legendary neck sensitivity) and sound.
I play "Old Time Gospel and Bluegrass" with a MPLS-based group called Singleton Street.
We finished our Gospel CD "Wingin' It" late in 2007.
You can hear cuts off that CD, additional cuts from "Almost Live" our first CD and some fun field recordings done at rehearsal at:

To see some Singleton Street articles on faith, music and autism, head over to www.artdeanne.com/Articles.html. My old-timey group is the Eelpout Stringers.
These guys are great fun! Check out some of our music on my MP3 page. Other cuts also found at:

Favorite Bands/Musicians: Got LOTs of influences. From Unca Dave Macon and Stringbean right up to several of today's performers (i.e. Dwight Diller, Mac Benford, Mark Schatz and Joe Newberry). My favorite of all time though, is "Old Wide Load"... Tommy Thompson of the Red Clay Ramblers.

Just spent a rowdy day at the "great MN get-together" (our nationally renowned state fair). Once again the MN Bluegrass and Old-time Music Association (MBOTMA) sponsored a duet's competition. Debbie Sorensen-Boeh and I threw our collective hats in the ring for a couple rounds. I've posted videos of the two numbers that got us into the final round. They're old-timey favorites: Chased Old Satan (in "A") and one of my favorites songs that Deb sings, A Mother's Final Words.
Enjoy!
Here's Chased Old Satan
And here's A Mother's Final Words
Unfortunately I wasn't able to salvage much of the hasty recording made of our play-off number (Little Birdie). Must notta been too bad. We got 3rd place (woo-hoo!). Enough cash for some pronto pups (on a stick)...
