benhockenberry

Instruments: banjo (5-string), bass, guitar, and more recently tinwhistle and fiddle. Which can I play well? Couldn't say.

Location: Just north of Buffalo, NY

Age: Mind yer own business, eh? Well, I'm probably at the young end of Gen X, so I'm old enough to know better than to play loudly at sessions. Which is why I play the banjo. [ducks]

Some favorite tunes (just for color): Sliabh Russell, The Factory Smoke, Nine Pint Coggie, The Ale is Dear, Domhnall Dubh, The Dawn Chorus, The Full-Rigged Ship.
