Music is a great hobby. Through the years it has been something I never tire of. I'm still learning to play mandolin and am fairly immersed in bluegrass. I've also been working on bluegrass rhythm guitar, as well as dabbling in flatpicking.The picture is me and grandpa sometime in 1994 on their back patio in Chico.
