Watched Banjo Bonnie become a PLAYER.

Got to know a really nice man...Peter T.

Finally played The Ark in Ann Arbour Mich.

(sort of) learned the fiddle, thanks to jeri's encouragement...and the loan of her 2nd fiddle!

Coming along on the single row button accordion, thanks to the initial help from Bob Bolton.

Got to know a really nice woman..Pam Swan.

Survived my sixth album (this one's the Dreamer). I HATE recording...but ya gotta do it if ya want to get gigs. (I LOVE playing live)

Met and picked with Erik Darling!

Same with Tony Trischka! (these guys are two of my all time heroes)

Got to show Heather some of the Southern U.S.

Good year all in all.
