Recording Engineer for twenty years. Now we design and implement Pro Audio facilities, auditoriums,schools, churches and recording studios. Play Bluegrass banjo And Guitar. Clawhammer old style. Grew up in Florence Ala where I learned banjo from Bill Henderson and Rual Yarbrough . Taught banjo and guitar at local music store.Played in Athens Fiddlers Contest most years before I moved to Tulsa. Won some lost some. Playing hard these days.Never to old to learn and am still learning a lot from Rob Bishline, a great player and Luthier who makes a great banjo and is a wonderful Martin repair and restoration Guru. Got my Reiter Tubaphone From John Balch and my Ramsey from Donald Zepp. Both Have given me great incentive to become a better player.
