So far our stay in Idaho has been a great blessing of both getting much needed rest, as well as making some new friends!

One of the first places we visited was McCall, Idaho. What a nice drive to get there.

On the way up we went by way of Cascade, another town worth visiting in the area, and spent a few days up in McCall. Continue reading “BIT 40”

Playing at the College Church of the Nazarene in the Treasure Valley.
Notice how the landscape went from wet to white… They were taken just a short distance from each other!

Well, we just started a sabbatical for the first time in years… we are staying in Idaho.  We flew out here about two weeks ago.  This is my first time visiting this state.  A few days after we arrived, I played during the offertory at the Intermountain District Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene held inside of the College Church of the Nazarene in Nampa, Idaho… It was a hit!

Hello everyone,

We’ve been back home in Costa Rica for a while now, and have been very busy.

Showing off my D-6 to the guys.
Backing up Rick for a song.

Before we flew back to Costa Rica the first week of March, we met with some friends at a Cracker Barrel for lunch. While waiting for them to arrive, I took out my banjo and sat in one of the rockers and played. That turned out to be a great way to draw a crowd and meet some very nice people.  Continue reading “BIT-38”

Check out the cool new inlays on the Deluxe-6.
With Janet & Greg Deering.

A few weeks ago Dad & I were at the Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California with Deering Banjos who provided 2 Badges for Dad & I to attend.

With Deering’s Artist Relations Director Carolina Bridges.

This was my first time attending!  And like I said in my last BIT, it’s kind of like a dream come true to go as an Artist! Continue reading “BIT-37”

Well, While I was back in Costa Rica I became an Endorsing Artist for Deering Banjos and ordered a Customized Deluxe 6 string model.  I ordered it with an upgrade from the standard Mahogany wood to being an all Walnut Banjo!  It is both LOUD & beautiful!

Jamming at 2 AM on Dickson’s back porch.
 

Well, since my last BIT we’ve continued touring all over the USA. Playing in more Seminars & handling the audio for them as well. We sort of based ourselves out of the Atlanta area staying with friends in between each event which was Continue reading “BIT-33”

BIT 18 – March 5, 2008

Well hello again. Let’s get caught up from my last BIT…

While we were in the Atlanta area I had the opportunity to play at Freedom Chapel, held at the Dominion Christian High School.

Playing my Baby Taylor at the McKinney’s Coffeehouse, ACC.

Before we left the area I also played a concert at the Atlanta Christian College (NOTE: Now Point University) in McKinney’s Coffeehouse. After the show I had a really nice time speaking with their Guitar Professor and some of the students about the country style fingerpickin’ techniques I use. Continue reading “BIT-18”

BIT 16 – December 13, 2007

Wow, this has been a great trip around the country… lots of beautiful places.  Dad and I headed out towards Southern California and went through Colorado with it’s majestic Rockies where we stopped to visit a good friend just outside Denver.  We then traveled down into New Mexico and stayed with some really great folks in Santa Fe.  They’re more like family now.

Afterwards, we continued on to Arizona where dad wanted me to see this place called Sedona, a gorgeous colorful town he remembered from years ago. So me, being “resident navigator” of this entourage, found a “shortcut” on the map. Well, at least that’s Continue reading “BIT-16”
