Professional musician 9 years 74 to 83. Quit, put banjo in closet for 35 years to go in business. Nearing retirement and realized a couple years ago that I really missed the music so I dusted off the old "New Tradition" Style C banjo (1 of 3 and a whole 'nother story) and have been working lately on trying to get my chops back after all this time. Currently playing with Josh Grigsby and County Line. Married, 3 kids, 4 grandkids
