thanks!

Hello! I just joined yesterday, but I've been playing and singing for about 55 years ... I play guitar (6- and 12-string, acoustic and electric), mandolin (trad and octave, acoustic and electric), banjo, and I plunk around on a Turkish saz and thump on a bodhran. My musical choices range all across the American Roots spectrum, but if I had to pigeon-hole myself, I would proudly say that I am an unrepentant folkie.

I've got a mess of instruments that I do my best to play some of every day (I'm a retired teacher, so it's eaasier to do that now), and when I'm not playing and singing, I write novels (in a variety of genres ... just like my music) ...

I'm glad to be here and hope to meet and hear many new friends.
