The summer is winding down and I have not made it to a festival this year yet, life has gotten in the way this year.
The bonus is I have been playing more music at jams and less timid with stage fright and playing with others, as a good friend of mine says; "Dare to Suck!" so I do that but quietly at times so as not to offend.
Hope you all are having a great summer of music and playing music with others!
Best,
Russ

I started playing three finger style in 1979as a teenager, self-taught, then college happened, eventually got back to banjo in fall of 2006. Now fast forward to 2022, I finally got around to learning clawhammer, what a joy, this style makes me smile just thinking about it. I play acoustic guitar, finger style, I love to play and sing good old tunes whether old time, folk, Scottish and Irish. Thanks for reading my bio, look forward to meeting you in person at a festival, or a local jam.
