I play acoustic guitar. I used to also play banjo, mandolin, and fiddle. When I was in college I played bluegrass semi-professionally (which I define as: performing for money, but not enough to make a living at it) around southwestern Virginia. The more I played "professionally", the less I liked it. I smelled a future of dark, dank, decrepit bars, drunk audiences, and life on the road so I gave it up.

Now I just play guitar, and just for fun. I fool around with bluegrass, folk, blues, or most anything that strikes my fancy.

This picture is a self-portrait, taken in an odd moment when I was feeling artsy. (Good thing I kept my day job.)
