++++++++ 

I am a former, full time performer and I've been playing bluegrass banjo
and dobro for 30 years. Taught for more than 20 years. I have started many
"non-musical people" from day one on their personal road to perdition
playing the ole 5 string and ruined their lives forever! (haha)
I have also instructed the "Intermediate" players and even fine tuned a
few advanced pickers to "stage worthiness" In short, I know how it's done
and don't mind passing all that information on to further the love of bluegrass music.
