I'm a true die hard traditional person who grew up on Earl Scruggs and Don Reno and I still have those traits today.. Flatt and Scruggs are by far my all time favorite group!

I have filled in with many area and local groups down through the year on both banjo and bass. I have played many a firehouse jamboree, square dance or cake walk in my time and tried to make a learning experience out it all :) I as a member of Cabin Creek for 11 years and we were a very busy local group playing several nights a week and have also been a member of The Shiloh Mountain Boys. Many different names come to mind I've performed in the past BlueGrass Limited, and my fathers band The BlueGrass Pioneers. I have always held playing music as one of the best stress relievers I could possibly find.
Which I guess has kept me sober all these years..not to mention somewhat sane LOL! I've met a lot of wonderfully nice folks down through the years through music as well as some I'd just as soon forget :) But Like Bob Moore always said "Thats Life And You Only Get One Take " So I live each day as if it's the last go hard as I can and learn as much as my little brain will contain LOL!
I always look at the big picture like this :
"I never have the best and fanciest instrument but I try to bring out the best it has to offer "
But I have to be different..I do it with two fingers not three!
