He’s super nice and down to earth. I’ve worked with him running sound several times. He’ll be in Palatka with Southern Legacy the Saturday of the festival. Great band!

Living on a farm and being a musician lets me speak from experience: Banjo Ben won.
You see, you can ride a horse, and the horsehair is used to play a fiddle.
A banjo you can also play, but much harder to ride.
