I'm fiddlin' where I began, in Wood County, Ohio, late in 1979. Hand tinted photo by my boyhood pal, Jim Venis. Taken in his grandmother's woods with his grandmother's fiddle. We were both still kids then.

Artwork

My friend Katrina Erickson drew this fine image of me plunking on a banjo at Bent's Old Fort in Southeast Colorado. I am honored to display it here.

My wife, Elaine, has made some great paintings and drawings. She made this flattering image of me in the early days of our marriage sometime in the early 1980s. I'm proud to show it here.
