About Me

I've been living in Colorado for four and some odd years now. I came out here hoping to find some good folks to play music with and that has happened. I came out here to get close to the mountain lifestyle and that has happened. I came out here to get rich.....that hasn't happened! Back in Alabama, where I'm from, I played banjo with lots of folks, from The Juke Joint Gypsies, to Four Mile Post, to The Blue Mules, to The Earth Art Ensemble and Riverside Grit. Here in Colorado I play mainly with The Laughing Bones....but also with The Wave Mountain Riders and Skin the Rabbit. It's all bluegrass oriented, but each band has it's own twist, whether it be country, rock, reggae or sometimes crap. It's real nice out here. From the skiing to the golfing and the pickin', I think I'll be here awhile.

My Interests

I'm into banjo, skiing, golfing, chillin', fishing, walking and just being alive.

Music:

When it comes to music I've got no boundaries. My favorites are new acoustic and progressive bluegrass. However I love music with good beats, from hip-hop to latin jazz. I'm a big listener to anything Bela Fleck puts out and I'm especially fond of live recordings.

Movies:

Red Dawn, Dark Krystal, Top Gun, The Color Purple, Enter the Dragon, The Natural, Places in the Heart, Airplane, Beverly Hills Cop, Naked Gun, Million Dollar Baby.......

Television:

Sanford and Son, City Confidential, American Justice, Mythbusters, National Geographic Explorer, The Cosby Show, Monday Night Football

Heroes:

My Daddy, God rest his soul. That man loved music and he loved people. I'm lucky to have had him for an example. He got his Masters degree in music, moved to a small country town and spread the love,teaching junior college, nearly thirty years, just happy to bring music into so many lives
