Ragged But Right

About Me

I'm a self diagnosed plant geek, music freeeeeek and budding stonemason (drystack, drylaid & mortarless). Play upright bass and guitar with the anyone who wants to play, and perform randomly in restaurants, bars, houseparties, and streetcorners anywhere between West Virginia and western N.C. Nothing makes me happier than playing music and walking these Appalachian Mts. searching for native medicinal and edible wild plants.(and gardening). Reggae music and the rest of the world are pretty cool too.
