My father discovered trad american folk in 1953.he played semi professional violin but changed immediately .I liked it too he bought me huge guitar i took to it like water followed by five string banjo,auto harp, dulcimer,open tuned mandoiln , malodeon, and accordian.I lived for music and rock climbing. I broke my neck in 1986, totaly paralysed but i am still madly interested i collect cds and the occasional banjo and teach banjo and guitar by verbal interaction
