I am very happy to say that Bill Christophersen and I (the Manhattan Valley Ramblers) have been in the studio once or twice per month recording since December 2008. We are working with Jon Gordon whose space is on West 27th Street. Playing with Bill is always a pleasure. His muse speaks and sings to him and notes come melliflously out from under his bow and fiddle. We are putting down some early country/bluegrass duets and fiddle banjo breakdowns. I will let you all know when we get closer to a release date. Any suggestions for an album title are welcome.
A couple months after Joe was born, I started teaching old time banjo lessons. It has been really rewarding. Breaking the tune into parts, thinking about what I do and watching a hard working student progress. Not a lot of demand for old time banjo teachers in this area but I am happy to provide the service to an enthusiastic few.
