I carry a lot of gear in the case pocket of my Dobro 33-D.

Dear Old Dad and I will be  taking part in the informal music night at Christ Fellowship Church in Marion, MD.
7:00PM to 9:00PM Monday, December 10

The idea is to begin a weekly jam session where musicians of all levels can share playing tips, make music and socialize. Dear Old Dad and I will be available for help with beginning five-string/tenor banjo, guitar and harmonica, as well as taking part in the jam.  Classes in ukulele and fiddle are also planned.

Tonight’s gathering will be followed up by a weekly session after the holidays.

My mom has posted new workshops!  http://www.misstrudy.com 

You were my pal before I was born. I miss you every day. 

Happy birthday, Pop-Pop. I love you. 

Our site crashed this morning. 

To get things running I had to use yesterday’s morning site backup. This got the site running, but we lost any comment you may have posted.

A while back we received a banjo head in the mail with a request that I sign it. We sent it head back and went about our usual everyday chaos.

Today I got another package from Jerry with a note saying that my signature inspired him to make this shirt.

I love it! Thanks, Jerry!

God bless,
-Patrick

Happy and sad memories looking through one of the Flickr channels used to host pictures from 2011 to 2016. 

Once the book I am writing is finished, I need to start going out with my camera again.
