My Instruments:
Own and Play: Clawhammer Banjos (Enoch Tradesman, Pisgah Woodchuck, Pisgah Rambler Special, Goodtime Americana), Fiddles, Guitars, Bass (Marimbula as well as Upright), Mandolins, Hammered Dulcimers. Jam and gig frequently -- usually well over 40-50 jams and gigs per year. I've been playing Clawhammer with seriousness since 2007, guitar since 1963, fiddle and hammered dulcimer since 2011, not so much Ham. Dulc. anymore. Have had to give up jams and gigs during this covid time we're living in.
Favorite Bands/Musicians:
Too many to list, but all of them are Old Time fiddle and banjo players and string bands, contemporary as well as source / historically significant musicians.

Primarily interested in playing Old Time, Southern Appalachian style. With all due respect and admiration, not really much interested in playing Bluegrass, Celtic, Cajun, Texas Swing, New England, Cape Breton ( though very appreciative as a listener). Yes, perhaps my loss, I know, but other genres just don't appeal to me like Traditional Old Time Appalachian does, especially playing in the Round Peak style. Also on the Fiddle Hangout with the same username.
