About Me

I once met a girl from Delaware and couldn't think of a single thing to say to her. I said,"So you're from Delaware? Gosh. Wow." ~ Bill Bryson, The Lost Continent
I'm a two-finger Appalachian style blues banjo player who wandered away from my home state of Delaware to the mountains of Flagstaff, AZ. I have played at smaller venues to music festivals including the Fort Armstrong Folk Festival in PA, Flagstaff Folk Festival in AZ and Pickin' in the Pines Bluegrass & Acoustic Music Festival in AZ. I've also opened for CR Avery and Po' Girl!
I like old time blues, the colors of autumn and traveling around. I like to be outside rain, snow and shine. My favorite poet is Robert Penn Warren. Rosie Mae Moore's voice shakes my soul. My favorite weather is right before a summer thunderstorm when the clouds block out the sun and humidity is still in the air.
Now I see the secert of the making of the best persons, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. ~ Walt Whitman's Song of the Open Road
I edited my profile due to boredom !
