My Instruments:

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.

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.

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.

Banjo Builder Webinar Series: Jason Romero-10/19/09-7P CDT

Friday, October 16, 2009 @6:43:05 AM


Howdy folks.

Photobucket

Now that I've got all this great Webinar equipment in place for Autism Hangout, I thought I'd share the benefits with the banjo world, too. So starting next Monday, I'll be broadcasting the first-ever installment in the "Banjo Builder Webinar Series."

Photobucket

First up is Jason Romero.  Jason is known far and wide for his artistry as a luthier.  His fine-sounding banjos are clearly among the most elegant of all time.  Jason's background in building acoustic instruments is extensive, having picked up the basics from the good folks at Wildwood, PW Crump Instruments and Clinesmith Guitars.  But he's clearly charted an extraordinary new path with the advent of his current operation, Romero Banjos. Lucky us!

In addition to being a fine builder, Jason is also a fine player!  

Photobucket

Tune in next Monday night at 7P CDT for a shop tour and more.  The viewing address is www.livestream.com/frailinflix.  If you'd like to add a comment, the chat feature will be operating... at least until the roaming pack of 12 year olds attacks and I've got to turn it off.
