Howdy!

Hey Folks!

Luke Kerner here! I’ve been a Gold Pick Member for quite some time now but have yet to post on the forum. I’ve observed a couple threads and wanted to make a little post to say hi to y’all.

I’ve had my banjo for over a year and a half and began listening to bluegrass shortly before I bought it. A couple months later, I started on Ben’s videos and eventually went to one of his cabin camps (Banjo Only Camp April 2021!)

I’ve lived in Austin TX for most of my life and am now a freshman at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio. I love bluegrass, amphibians/reptiles, mountain biking and anything to do with Texas.

Just a post to say hi and jump on the forum!

Hello @Froog . I’m not from the Austin area but my brother has lived in Dripping Springs down that way for a good while.

[Froog]

Nice! I’m familiar with Dripping Springs. I live a good ways north from it, but I do make my way down there from time to time.

What’s up man I’m about an hour up the road from you. Glad to see you on here.

Greetings from another banjo beginner. Feel free to share your “expert opinion” with us. I could use the support!

[Froog]

Cool! Good to hear there are other pickers around me!

[Froog]

Thanks @BanJoe. I’ll let y’all decide whether it’s an “expert opinion” or not!

[Mike_R]

Howdy Luke, and welcome! I live outside of Fort Worth and share many of your stated loves. We go down your way to bike at Spider Mountain a few times a year.

Hey, @Dragonslayer actually gave me your number since we’re close to each but then I got sick so i forgot to reach out. Good thing you posted, it reminded me. Anyway, welcome to the forum don’t be a stranger here everyone here is really helpful.

[Froog]

Thanks! That’s great, my Dad is going to take me down to Spider Mountain to bike sometime, as I have never been before. I’ve heard its a cool trail!

[Froog]

@oaklymaple No worries! Great to hear from you! Yes, I’m sure I’ll come up with some random bluegrass questions for y’all sooner or later

Thanks. Very nice, you’ll have to teach me how to deal with the snow and cold up here in Ohio!

Hello @Froog, welcome to the forum!
You seem to be close to Pittsburg. Yeah it is getting cold now.
