Well, I've been dealing with a double foot infection for 2 months. It's been a slog. On the brighter side, after playing classical guitar for 30+ years, I finally bought a hand-made classical. Made by luthier Lorenzo Masini in 2024.

Purchased from:

Found a psuedo-scorpion in the downstairs bathroom. Pretty groovy little guy! Harmless. 🦂

My Nechville Nextar that I purchased from Noam Pikelny in 2007. Met him in Montreal before a PB show. He signed the resonator and we played some tunes. Played every day. Re-fretted twice. Played in a touring band for 5 years.

Post a photo of your main banjo and a little of its history.

I'm with you there! I bought a book from my only guitar teacher back in the mid-eighties that had all of Dowland's music.

A really long pano of Bell Island, Newfoundland taken from the ferry. The Boots of Bell Isle are just right of centre.

12 move checkmate! Sometimes, your opponent helps out.

Test 30 from Bellin & Ponzetto-Test-Your-Positional Play book. You play positions from real games to find the best plan from 3 plans. I've spent a year completing the 30 tests in this book. I play from the position to help me select the correct plan before l see the plans. Found a Queen sac!

A very fine game playing the Caro-Kann. Smooth sailing after my opponent lost their queen. #Chess

I stayed in Francois for 5 days and hired a retired fisherman to take me into Chaleur Bay which is next to where Francois is located. Two images from Chaleur Bay and one of Francois.

When your opponent plays every wrong move in the Ponziani Opening. Quick win for me.

The view of Ten Mile Pond from the top of Gros Morne in western Newfoundland. I climbed Gros Morne four times to get this shot. This section was fogged in the first three times I climbed Gros Morne.

I had a nice conversation with Chris in the early 2000's and he gifted me a PDF of his Tab Book entitled Celtic 5-String: Playing Irish Dance Tunes. I spent a lot of time learning how to play these tunes. Give Quasimodal a try. Tab image is below found on the web. It's a great piece!
