ABOUT ME
Just a music lover with no musical talent of my own. I like to see young people involved with mountain and bluegrass music and am amazed at just how talented they are. I like acustic instruments and would like to see more bluegrass bands incorporate instruments like the mandolin, autoharp and dulcimer in their music. Bill Monroe's favorite instrument was the mandolin and Rhonda Vincent seems to favor it. I'm afraid, if trends continue, that the fiddle or banjo will soon cease to be staples of bluegrass music.

TURN ON'S
Female vocalists, especially Rhonda Vincent, Michelle Nixon, The Flat Mountain Girls

TURN OFF'S
Snakes, bad dreams, people who don't listen, elitists and neo-cons

HOBBIES
Civil War buff, listening to and collecting music, reading, surfing the internet, building web sites. Check out my new web page www.beforebluegrass.com

Hinkman,

Thank you so much for your compliments on my autoharp! I have been playing for a number of years. Mother Maybelle is a hero to me, (also to my husband) not only on autoharp but her guitar pickin' (which my husband is so good at) We had the pleasure to visit the Carter Family Fold a couple of times. We do a lot of their songs. By the way, The Shenandoah Valley is such a beautiful place. We were there when my husband was on Electrical highline construction. Harrisonburg, Leesburg, and Fredericksburg. We will be down there for the 50th. Anniversary of the Country Gentlemen July 13 and 14th. at berrysville, VA Watermellon Park. Thanks again.......Betty

Thanks for the generous comments. Shenandoah Valley is one of my favorite places on earth, peace in the valley. David.

Thanks! I fell in love with it the first time I heard the dobro and lost all interest I had in all the other instruments I used to play.  God Bless, and have a wonderful day!

Thanks for your comments! I want to put some tunes up on my site but I need to ask the rest of my bandmates first. I think you live in a beautiful place. I have visited the valley many years ago. Hey have a great day and give a shout anytime!
