about

Here's some floral by-catch, produced on the way to bigger projects and fresher sounds—please stay tuned...
Flowery Girls—A meandering exploration of the fingerboard. Omer Forster, a two-finger banjo genius (and fellow Kay banjo devotee) from middle Tennessee, inspired my rendition. I've messed with it for years, and it feels close enough. It seems to be catching on these days.

Blackeyed Susie—If you like this sound (I do), there's more of it in the works. It's a rough draft of things to come. We've been exploring this pairing and these textures for several years, and we've landed on some sounds that we're excited about. The pump organ has long been used to accompany fiddle music. Luther Strong's setting of this classic fiddle/banjo piece provides a starting point for this ramble.

Please follow me here on bandcamp if you're curious where these things might lead. There's some rad stuff in the works. hmu if you'd like to learn some banjo or fiddle.
