Well I'm back from my adventures at Clifftop 2010, I had a really great time. I met a lot of great people, saw some old friends and had more then a few great jam sessions. I had a ton of people stop by my booth and admire my banjos and pick a bit, it was truly a great time.

Here are a couple of pics of my booth set up, with some fellers hanging around playing some.








Here's a video of Jimmy Costa playing Old Mother Flanagan on my Chestnut banjo.


I've also spent some time these last couple of weeks updating my website, trying to make it easier to navigate and too get all my latest builds shown with plenty of images and sound files. I still have a little bit of work to to do, but I think its much better then it was before!

Take care everyone.

I'll be leaving for Clifftop (Appalachian String band Festival) in WV in a couple of days. I decided to have a booth this year to show and sell some banjos. I just finished up the last one yesterday and got some pictures of them all taken today. So I thought I would post some of the pictures and give a brief description on each. If your coming to Clifftop, make sure to stop by and say hello!
