found a few things and decided to take the time to get some banjo pictures up here. The sound is better than it looks...boy she can sing








i woke up with a headache today for what seemed like no reason, until i checked the forecast online a couple minutes ago... could be a factor, but who really knows? it's been raining for awhile but the sun is out right now. i took a greyhound bus to Raleigh, NC on Saturday and got a truck thanks to my good friends over at USAA. Now, i can go up into the mountains when it's snowing and not blow a radiator! And i sure as hell won't hydroplane on a wet road going 35mph. it's a 2003 GMC Sierra SLE Extended Cab




I also recently set up a snowboard...

i've been doing a lot and doing a lot of nothing. this summer was really eventful, and probably the longest summer i've ever had. Scratched a few things off the bucket list but there's still more left on it than I know. I still need an external hard drive. I've been taking banjo lessons. about 5 of them, i think. my teacher said that my talent was genetic and that i catch on quick. i thought that that was cool because he's played with Earl Scruggs and knows Bill Keith personally. I also have the chance to go play with Tony Trischka and learn a few things down in North Carolina in October. Tony taught Béla Fleck how to play the banjo. Recently received a new banjo, it's a Recording King R80 and it sounds better than it looks...not that i don't like the way it looks. with that a whole bunch of books to learn. it's becoming a wonderful thing in my life, and I'm happy to have so much to help me along the way. maybe i'll get an external hard drive that works and i'll be able to start this thing back up again with cooler posts...
