Years ago, like 15 or 20 years ago, Aldredge Creek had a more natural creek bed. Then, we had a 50-year rain one night and several houses along the creek were flooded. So the city dredged Aldredge (huh – that almost rhymes!), exposing these scraped-over rocks along the creek bed. Great turtle-tanning beds to boot!
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
