Man! I hate that when I log into my BHO page and it tells me "YOU CURRENTLY HAVE NO ACTIVITY"
There's actually been a lot of activity, banjo and otherwise, I guess I just haven't posted any of it here. So just for the record (so I can log back in and see it) since last I posted here...
The One Man Banjo shows continued all around Charlotte, surrounding area and a few other cool places.
My Deering Custom Calico is STILL an AMAZING banjo!
We made it through the Pandemic which wiped out all of my LIVE EVENTS...the speaking ones and the banjo ones.
We learned how to ZOOM...and then ZOOM BETTER! And through it all we kept playing the banjo.
I kept in touch with some AMAZING BANJO FRIENDS and we TALKED about when we can play together again.
I try not to miss the Friday night KRUGER BROTHERS Facebook LIVES...
And it looks like my long-awaited banjo CD project is really going to happen.
So there, I think that's a good short summary for now.
And NOW...I have some current ACTIVITY! Glad to be back and LOVE this banjo community...
GODSPEED ALL!

(the Banjo Bio...cause the other one is just too long)
Bought my first 5 string in Little Rock while I was in the Air Force in 1976. It was perfect timing for me since I was able to spend hours upon hours learning how to play it. I also met a few guys who loved picking and playing and we eventually ended up jamming every Friday night and later touring the festivals across Arkansas.
I've been playing banjo longer than I've been married to Sandi (since 1978), and still love just getting together with other musicians to play. I grew up around country/mountain music in TN, lived 10 years in AR and then to NC in 1992. Lots of bluegrass and other musical influences from all those places and look forward always to my next "banjo day."
In my day job, I'm an author, speaker, business coach/consultant helping individuals improve their marketing and profits. After hours, I love golf, a fine cigar, and a porch swing with my banjo. Occasionally I even get to hang out with my son and/or daughter (thirty-somethings) who keep me thinking and feeling younger.
I'm a huge proponent of personal development and lifelong learning...including learning the banjo or most anything else you'd like to be better at.
Past few years after DECIDING to get better at the banjo, just made it my goal to PLAY EVERY DAY, and while I don't play EVERY day, I've certainly played more days and seen the results. Playing with other musicians/bands (The Big Cigar Band) and now solo with a show called ONE MAN BANJO (www.OneManBanjo.com)! Always improving...that's the goal.
