Paul carried his first banjo around for 5 years, trying to learn from books, before running into someone who could actually teach what he wanted to learn. Old habits died hard, but things got straightened out. Four decades later, Paul is returning to the stage in small increments, playing a blend of songs and tunes from vintage to more recent traditions. Simply put, "The Banjo Am the Instrument For Me." |
