Expertise
I'm already listed in the Country music group but my main interests are in old time mountain music, bluegrass and original country 1970's and before. I can usually help with groups, songs and lyrics.
Experience
I grew up in Middle Tennessee, in an area rich in music tradition...just a few miles from Lester Flatt's birthplace and a few miles the other way from one of the largest annual Old time Fiddlers championships. I've watched, listened and even played (some) of the old stuff...like fine wine, it just gets better.
Education/Credentials
I hold a Bachelors in Biology and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree
