Snail mail :
Occupation : Rancher and writer, former wildlife biologist /
computer specialist.
Hobbies : Falconry, archery, bluegrass music, stuff like that..
PC machine : Win95, 486/80.
Born : Belen, NM, March 9, 1962
Instrumentals that you have : guitar, mandolin, bass
When did you begin to play ? :
I messed around with guitar,mostly undirected fingerpicking starting when
I was about 12-13. I first heard bluegrass in Lexington, KY when I was a
sophmore in HS. It sounded like something a guy could actually play (and
maybe meet girls in the process), so I sold my "classical" guitar and
bought an Alvarez steel-stringer. Bought a D-28 the next year. I quickly
found out that girls prefer rock 'n roll, but by then I was hooked on
bluegrass. Started messing with mandolin and bass about 4 years ago.
When & how did you first hear Clarence White's music ? :
Picked up Russ Barenberg's book while in Lexington,figuring it would give
me the rudiments of bluegrass guitar. Little did I know! I couldn't even
begin to figure out how it was supposed to sound,so I started hunting down
KY Colonels records and found all but Appalachian Swing in Lexington. I
eventually ordered that one from Japan via an ad in Bluegrass Unlimited.
While I like all CW's stuff, it's the post-Byrds era that I like best.
Any comments : This newsletter is a blast. Great stuff.

Born : 1946 - Wilkes County, NC, USA
Instrumentals that you have : J-50 Gibson,banjo,mandolin,bass
When did you begin to play ? : 1968
When & how did you first hear Clarence White's music ? :
I first saw him as one of the country boys on The Andy Griffith Show, on
TV. I was never to see him in person. I have video of those two episodes,
and they never really turn Clarence loose. The banjo gets too much
attention?
Any comments :
A friend who studied CWs style raved about it, & really turned me on to
him in 72 or so. He had a KC album and I thought they had been speeded
up or something. Nobody, even Doc or Dan Crary played like Clarence!
What was that back beat thing he did?

on a World Pacific omnibus album for the first time.
Any comments : Clarence White is one of the two greatest guitar authorities
alongside with Django Reinhardt, and even today there is no
guitarist who is beyond them.
