About Me |
|
| Started playing banjo at the end of college in an effort to learn the E minor lick in the hillbilly chase music from 'Bonnie and Clyde' (Foggy Mountain Breakdown/Earl Scruggs) and it just went from there. Since then I picked up some guitar, mandolin, and dulcimer. On occasion I mix a bit of electronica, mostly trance stuff. Recently I've taken to making/playing cigar box guitars and other such instruments. I listen to (or have listened to) nearly all genres of music excepting modern soul-less radio pop and new trash country. That's pretty much where I am today, hanging out in the dirty writing songs about stupid shit. | |
