Took 3 lessons as a 15 yr-old...been pluckin' around ever since, listening to records, then tapes, CDs, etc. to pick things out. Some tab. Very picky on what I want to listen to- prefer what I call hard-drivin' bluegrass, prefer bands such as those I've listed above.
At festivals, I prefer to hear paid performers over jamming. I enjoy playing, but I work hard at another profession and I really enjoy listening to bluegrass, as well as playing it.
Currently play a Pre War TB-1 to RB-1 conversion recently purchased from Jim Mills.
