this past summer was a blast for me in music!! i got to play with the midnight ramblers ..bobby hicks and aubrey hayne, and southern skye whom i played with at dollywood during the bluegrass festival!!!with all that..my own band started to kick it off as well!! i did teach fiddle for about 9 months...that was a really good experience for me considering you have to try to teach all the music knowledge you have to others who have no clue what a g string or a g run is!! i also had the opportunity to play with trey hensley alot this past summer!! man is he a awesome guitar player! but i will say this though..if it weren't for my dad and my "master" audey ratliff i wouldn't have been able to do all the things i did this past year!! all i can say to them is " THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH YOU TWO, YOUR THE BEST"
