Thinking on how I came to pickin’ a banjo has tickled and aliven 30 years of dormant memories, laughter, smiles and a few blushing moments. I was just a pupster in 1978 when I found my way to Rockbridge County…heading for the country.

Hey Laurie, Great Post!
I too have some fond recall of early travels down I-81. My family had good friends in Lexington and I almost ended up going to W&L. I was really impressed with the scenery in the area and eventually ended up going to Va Tech. Sometimes I think there's nothing better than a 4 hour drive down to Blacksburg on a crisp fall morning.
These days I do what I can to get my family down in that area whenever possible. Whether it's a weekend of Hokie football or a fall foliage bike tour in Staunton. I try to get down there a couple times a year.
None of this has too much to do with my banjo playing, but I'm a big fan of your neck of the woods none the less.
Tony
