Hi folks,.Started out playing guitar when I was about 19 yrs old then switched to banjo in 1986... been pickin it off and on ever since ...I enjoy working on banjo's.. So far I've built 2 banjers, they turned out pretty good...Been playing with the house band at the Delbarton Opry House for 2 year's now. We have a lot of fun there...I still play the first banjo I made at the Opry House....I guess I will always keep It ...Well thanks for having me here...Smitty
