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.

Hi. My name is Craig Evans. I rediscovered the wonderful world of old timey and bluegrass music at the age of 48. Where most of us heard many of these timeless tunes in our youth, few really knew what we were listening to. Aside from feeling like dancing to the joyful melodies, even fewer of us really appreciated the history of this incredible genre. The good news is, it's never too late! Through this music, I've had the good fortune of making new friends, rediscovering my youth... and experiencing incredible joy. I'm dedicated to sharing this music with others that they may come to appreciate the gift of old timey sounds.
