About Phill Gibson

I’m from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Hospice Chaplain and part-time banjo instructor. My former careers were in Research Biology and Software/Systems Engineering. 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, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.

Trash Panda Tracks

Posted on June 20, 2021 by Phill Gibson

AKA Racoons, these were by the creek either catching minnows or washing food. Actually, it isn’t that they are so fastidious with their food, but rather they cannot supply enough saliva of their own so must add water to eat … Continue reading →

Pond Sliders

Posted on June 19, 2021 by Phill Gibson

Pond Sliders is a sort of catch-all name for several species that love to bask in the sun, mainly of the genus Chrysemys. They are difficult to approach. These older gentlemen are probably either Yellow-bellied or Red-eared turtles.
