Started playing in the 1970's, played banjo & fiddle w/ Rustical Quality String Band (based in central PA) for ~ 15 years, played gigs, dances in PA & Northeast US. Took a long time off from old-time music (raising 2 sons, job, etc.), got back into the music around 2007 after I stumbled across a wonderful old Cole Eclipse at a local auction AND BOY AM I ENJOYING MYSELF AGAIN ! ! ! ! ! ! Currently enjoying collecting & restoring old banjos, also do recreational lapidary & jewelry-making. I'm 5000eclipse on YouTube.
