Biography

Infected with the Bluegrass virus as a child, the disease remained dormant till

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle be Unbroken" came out in the

seventies. I was in remission for a few years and then came the prognosis:

It's incurable! I'm a self taught banjer picker of 26 years. Also play guitar, some

mando, dobro and sing lead, tenor, and Baritone. I teach Bluegrass music at Blvd Music

Store in Boiling Springs/Spartanburg SC, and I'm a certified Wernick Method Jam Class

teacher.

I'm very active in hosting and supporting jams and jammers in my area.

My motto: "If you keep on pickin that thing . . . It'll never heal!”

Gilbert
