About Me

With some extra scratch in my pocket a few years ago, I decided to purchase a banjo off Ebay. I had no idea that it would lead to an obsession of such magnitude. I started to learn how to play the thing with the help of my late teacher, Dennis Monroe. I’ve taken the approach of playing it like any other instrument and trying not to limit myself by genre or style. It’s led me to some cool experiences as some very cool people.

I play an open back banjo made by Jason Romero. It sounds and looks great. Check out his website

Most Saturdays I’m hanging out at Bernunzio Uptown Music

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V4.4

About the Tunes....

The tunes posted on this page were recorded with the late Dennis Monroe. I'm playing banjo with Dennis on all other instruments. Weinstein's Wobble is an orginal song composed by Dennis Monroe.
