Happy New Year--what a wonderful year 2016 was & now 2017 is a year that I'm so looking forward to ! First of all--there is going to be a brand new cd soon ! It's my 10th CD & IMHO its the best one I've ever recorded. Award winning fiddler, Tim Gardner, recorded it in his studio & I can't wait for you to hear his wonderful fiddling. Also--there's going to be some mountain dulcimer, vocals, guitar, bass & did I mention banjo and cello banjo ? And I will try to get in gear and get busy on some banjo tabs for a book too--lots of banjo on this new cd :)
Besides playing banjo and mountain dulcimer shows this year--I'll also be playing again in the FSU Irish Music Ensemble in the world music department. Mostly I'll play celtic guitar with them--but there will be banjo attacks too :)
Also--gonna be some forays into NC & Montana and who knows where else this year ? I'll send an email around soon to let you know the routes --if you'd like to host a house concert or workshops--let me know and anything is possible and fun :)
Florida Folks and friends--going to be playing the 2017 Florida Folk Festival in White Springs on Memorial Weekend in May--so hope to see you there--probably bringing that big fat cello banjo again :)
