I am the sum of all my banjos.

About Me

There isn't to much I can say about myself other I play banjo. I play both clawhammer and three finger styles of banjo. "Reuben" and "More Pretty Girls Than One" were recorded 10/28/06 at the Leanna Community Center here in Murfreesboro with my friend David Travis on guitar. Reuben is completely unedited as of right now. These were recorded live with little to no rehersal, so they are raw with an occasional mistake. Hope you enjoy them.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

About the Tunes

I just thought I'd add some more information about the tunes I have up right now. Reuben is, of course, pretty much Earl's version off the foggy mountain banjo album with some differences and one part...
