About Me

Banjo-ukers of the world, unite!
I am a geeetar picker.
I play in the band APPALACHIAN STILL
APPALACHIAN STILL: Lost & Found

Playing a toe-tappin' mix of Old-Time, Americana, Folk, Bluegrass and other genres, these New England boys have managed to create a unique sound that is distinctly their own yet remains rooted in the heart of Appalachia.
I teach guitar, bass, and banjo lessons and run a teen center (where I teach music & recording).
"Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though."
-Douglas Adams
"I heard Allah and Buddha were singing at the Savior's feast
And up the sky and Arabian rabbi
Fed Quaker oats to a priest.
Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain
Cause actually all them gods is just about the same"
-John Prine
