Banjo and guitar picker for decades. Just built a cookie tin banjo (November 2006). I call it a Banjoreo, It plays pretty good. Added a homemade banjolin in 2012. Added a bandolin from random parts in 2013.
I'm active at local open mikes, jams, a rather large contra-dance orchestra and occasionally work as a sideman. Looking for jamming friends in Long Island, NY.
Experienced teacher of fretted instruments and American traditional music.
