I live in Frederick Maryland (home of record collector Joe Bussard http://dust-digital.com/dmb.htm at whose house I first heard a Michael Coleman record) and have been a regular at Boe's Strings session for about 7 years. My efforts to play various types of traditional music started about 40 years ago. I dabble with guitar, banjo,and mandolin but play mostly fiddle at the session.http://www.thesession.org/sessions/display/1563
