Played Tuba in college, have an Associates degree in music. Mostly play (currently) classical and flamenco guitar. I have recently taken an intrest in surf guitar, so I play that also. I Have about six guitars, a mandolin and a violin, but NO BANJO!....Up Date!! Now I have a Banjo so I can sit on the front porch, play 'The Ballad of Jed Clampett' and scare the neighboors. In case you haven't gurssed from a recent exchange, I also have a BA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. This is why I drive a Limo for a living...I like it! I also did a few semesters in graduate school (secondary education) and taught highschool for a while(as the sub from hell!)... Somebody was way too wierd! I still don't know if it was me or the students, but as my parting shot I gave some science geeks my favorite reciepe for home-made BEER! I'm quite shure this went over very big with the students and left the administration scratching their collective head....oh well!
