Live and work in metro New York. Played guitar as a youngster, what we called at the time "folk music," some agglomeration of traditional, old time, bluegrass, blues. "Folk rock" must fit in there someplace. Dropped it as my life got busy but picked up again in mid-life as the arthritis got to crippling my hands. "Use it or lose it," my rheumatologist told me. My old dread was too big so I started in with clawhammer banjo and when my fingers couldn't handle the downstroke I moved to the flatpick: mandolin, four-string banjo, tenor guitar. Marcy Marxer inspired me to get jnto the 4-string cello banjo, and that's the variety I've settled into. A few months ago I found a small body Martin guitar and now I have an even smaller one; getting back into the six-string is my current focus, but I haven't lost sight of tne cello! My primary audience is canine-oriented, likely a good thing given my skill level! -- Robert Harris
