I've loved old time and bluegrass music my whole life. I grew up in Cleveland County, North Carolina just 10 miles from Earl Scruggs' home. I decided to start playing after interviewing banjo maker Noel Booth (Old Fiddle Road Banjos) for a newspaper article on the banjo in Appalachian culture. I started playing clawhammer style in August of 2007 and am very involved (as a listener) in the old time scene in Asheville, North Carolina. For the curious, "Gopher, Everette?" is a line from the funniest and best movie in the history of the world, "O, Brother, Where Art Thou."
