Hello. I moved to Huntsville, AL in 2008. I'm an electrical engineer with Boeing Phantom Works, and enjoy playing the banjo and fiddle. Occasionally I'll play the guitar, mandolin, viola, dobro, or even tenor banjo. I like everything from Flatt & Scruggs to Bela Fleck. If anyone is interested in playing either seriously, or just for the fun of it, let me know. I like to play bluegrass, jazz, and Irish tunes, but I'll try anything. Requirements are 1. Serious about making good music, and 2. No 'attitudes'... must be low stress & fun.
