I have loved music all of my life, especially Bluegrass, beause I grew up playing mostly country. With my Dad's talent and banjo playing, I learned so many old-time bluegrass songs - thanks, Daddy! My Mother contributed many songs, along with help on the piano - thanks, Mother! I started playing piano when I was about 6 or 7 years old and couldn't wait to play with our family Band. What fun we had playing for dances, box socials, and picnics!
