Occupation: Web publisher (Autism Hangout dotcom), writer, teacher and now, documentarian! Yee-ha!
Gender: Male
Age: 60
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. We've recorded two CDs: "Wingin' It", our Gospel music and "Almost Live" our first CD.
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: www.eelpoutstringers.com
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. And someone here on the hangout that's incredible is frailblazer (Ric Hollander).

 I heard this last night about 11P on a Robin and Linda Williams CD. I was so jazzed by it, I grabbed "Omega" this afternoon and laid this one down. What a GREAT TUNE!

You have such a great voice Craig, to be able to play and sing at the same time is a gift, who says men can't multi task? |

Craig, you had too much fun with this. This quickened your pulse and increased your metabolic rate, thereby increasing your carbon footprint, never mind the reaction of the listeners, thus contributing to global warming.
All I can say is, I hope that you do that as often as possible! With your help, the area I live in will move from growing region 5 to growing region 6, and gardeners here will be indebted to you and other like-minded pickers. |
