I took a chance and brought my banjo into work last Friday and played Jingle Bells for the various departments. I had to play three different times to entertain everyone. On the last day before Christmas, the atmosphere at work is a little more festive, so I like to dress up a little and wear a Christmassy tie. I also wore a goofy Christmas Hat. I have had a couple of co-workers thank me for the song over the past couple of days. That was nice, and a little unexpected. One guy in shipping asked if I would teach him how to play banjo, but I don't think he was really serious. We'll see. I ended up doing an encore in shipping. Fiddle tunes are rarely heard up here, so I played Cripple Creek for them and it was well rec'd.

I started playing clawhammer style banjo in May of 2006. I took lessons from Fritz Schuler in the fall/winter of 2006. Other than that, I've been using Wayne Erbson's Ignoramus book and Ken Perlman's DVD. I enjoy playing and practice every single day....Or....
If you prefer.....I'm a rip-snortin', clawhammer playin', motorcycle ridin', airplane flyin', father of two, grandfather to two, husband of one dulcimer playin', sweet lookin, woman o' mine.
