- Hi, until recently I was a self-taught guitar player. In addition to the guitar, I play the mandolin, and bass. In December 2005 I joined Just Because Bluegrass. Born and raised in a small town outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania I moved to the Washington DC area after college, and currently, reside in Pasadena, Maryland.

- I have relatives in Delmont, Greensburg and Jeanette. I went up to that area to visit aunts uncles and cousins early in 2007 with a couple of my brothers. I don’t think I have ever been to a Steeler game in person. I went up to see the pirates play Atlanta in a playoff game in 1992 (pirates lost) and have seen them many times here in Atlanta. I did get to see a couple games at Forbes Field when I was young. Ralph Kiner, Wally Westlake but your probably too young to remember them. I started following the pirates in 1949, and was in the US Navy when they won it all in 1960. I still remember listening to Rosey Rowswell and Bob Prince when I was a kid in Falls Creek and later when I could pickup KDKA from NY and NC.

Tom Faux replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"I recently came across a steel string parlor guitar made by P. Benson, in Minneapolis. It's really a nice little instrument--well built, comfortable, very much like an old Martin 00-18 (mahogany, slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, ladder…"
Marc Schlotthauer replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
