I am, actually, somewhere between Novice and Purty Good. I build open back banjos, and gourd banjos. I play in the Clearfork Valley Stringband. A band that varies from 2-5 players. We have 6 different people that we use, but never more than 5 at a time. We've played all over Ohio, in events such as Wedding Receptions, Contra Dances, Barbeques, Farmers Markets, and Festivals.
