born and raised in the greater LA area (the valley), I came to old time rather recently when I purchased a banjo on my way out of the country, to live abroad. A europhile then, I squatted a farm in Sweden and rode freight trains through Germany, France, Spain and Italy before I decided that maybe I should pick all this up where it was meant to be done, in the USofA. I high-tailed it out of Charles DeGaulle Airport on a cold december morn to hit SF and my home state on a bright sunny day. I took to the road, and old time music as much as possible, landing in Oakland, but playing round peak banjo, and picking up the fiddle a few years later.
