I have loved banjo for years. I've been aware of banjo my whole life but i really started appreciating it seriously after hearing Alison Brown on NPR in 1992-93. A few years later I "discovered" Tony Trischka and Bela Fleck and read "That Half-Barbaric Twang" by Karin Linn. In 2001 I bought a Deering Boston at Guitar Center with a lot of encouragement from my guitar playing hubby, Tim. But it was not easy to find a teacher in my area. And between work, Nursing School, and children I really didn't have a lot of time to pursue banjo. I have been working on bass for a while, mostly playing with my husband and kids. Nothing serious believe me. But recently I've been bitten by the Clawhammer bug. And I'm to a point in my life where I really need to play the banjo. I am fortunate to have found a great teacher not too far away in the Dayton area, Dan Gellert.
