hi ya.ll, i guess i,m the new guy on the block...i grew up listning to country music, both of my parents were musical and my mon could sing good,i started playing guitar when i was 17, times were tough, and it was 7 more years until i bought my first guitarover the years i ended up playing bass guitar for many groups, even in church...my favorite music is all of it.i love the old country music then in the 70,s i was into ccr and the doobie bros. i broke my right wrist really bad at work and was off for over a year, and when i got back to playing i would always feel a little pain when i played, some old friends had me over to listen to their bluegrass  and i loved it ,so i got started at  playing flat picking style for 7-8 yrs....but i would always go back and listen to my favorites from the 70,s then i caught robert on u-tube and i thought wow, i could do this ,,lol so here i am....   i am from a island in northern nova scotia called cape breton...so here,s hoping we all get what we want here so good music.....Alex.
