Favorite Bands/Musicians:
I like the "old stuff." I admire many of today's younger "progressive" artists, but I have always enjoyed collecting records from the 1920s through to the early 1960s. That fifty year period of American music is my favorite: Bluegrass, Old Time, Blues, Hokum, Rags, Swing, Hillbilly, Country, & Rockabilly. That's for me!

Such delicate notes, who would have thought the banjo could sound so graceful and elegant. A truly mesmerizing performance, it makes one stop and wonder. |

Superb!
(And to think that you once asked me about MY approach to clawhammer.
You've far surpassed anything I do. I'm in awe.) |

I love this one Tom! As others have said, it has a gentle, elegant quality to it that is uncommon for CH. |

This is amazing stuff! Beautiful tone and - sorry, but I have to use the word - "classical" precision to your playing! Makes me feel like I play the banjo with a hatchet... |
