Charcloth
I play mostly period Celtic/folk/hillbilly music using Claw hammer banjo, guitar, banjo, Irish Bouzouki, and tin whistle, I also love old time gospel songs
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
on occasion, mostly for history events & Nursing homes. I prefer to play just for my own enjoyment & for my home church
Your musical influences
The Corries, the Kingston Trio, John Denver, the Clancy brothers, Burl Ives, Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs, Glen Campbell, my mom & home church when I was a kid, even the Doobie Brothers & Bach. Also my Grandfather who often would sing silly songs & sea shanties (he taught me “Blow the Man Down”)
What equipment do you use?
Guild JF 30 guitar, Chanterelle banjo, Saga SS 10 banjo, Trinity College Irish Bouzouki, 2 Shaw D & C penny whistles.
Anything else?
Singing is good for the soul & the heart. It often makes a fitting prayer.
