A month to go. Who is going this year? There are some folks that I only get to see once a year, at Winfield. There's a couple of groups in the line up this year too that will be good to see. It seems like the contest gets tougher each year, this y...
Dave, I play both guitar and banjo, though less banjo these days (by choice). I learned guitar first at a pretty young age and had been playing for about 5 years when I started to learn banjo at the age of 12. Funny, my reason for wanting to learn...
I met Allen at Kamp and admire his playing very much - he just gets better with time!

- Started playing when I was 7. Played professionally off/on over the years. Began competing seriously when I was about 30, about 13 years now. Still do some, it makes me practice and I really enjoy seeing my heroes, friends, and the young kids that are playing so well these days. I get lucky once in a while in them, I've still lost way more than I've won.

Hayes Griffin said… - Hey Allen, how are things? It looks like I'll be headed down to the Henderson competition next month and I wasn't sure if you were going to be there. Let me know, and maybe we could pick a few if you're around.

Mark Cosgrove said… - Hi Allen,
Good to hear you play LRG again! I have been fooling with it and now I think I'll just leave it alone. Great job on such a difficult tune!
Best, Mark

Steve Carr said… - Hi Allen,
I met you a couple of years ago at Wayne Henderson's shop when you were there with Jack Lawrence. Wayne was working on Doc's new guitar at the time. I think you are one of the most tasteful pickers out there, and enjoy your CD regularly!

- Lake Santa Fe, mid-summer, no where near spawn or post spawn. Just a good fish that finds a piece of structure to sit on in deeper water and fatten up on shad during the summer, caught her on a crankbait in about 12' of water.

Derek Shultz said… - It's a dandy. During the spawn? What were you using?

- Yes, the bass is real, a Fla bass. It weighed about 9 lbs.

In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
