We currently live in Atlanta, Texas. Ryan and Robert are my two teenage sons, we also have 3 younger daughters. My wife Terry is the singer in the family, and is currently working on a CD. We all love acoustic music, and have thoroughly enjoyed associating with all the fine folks on Flatpick_L.

Instruments: Bourgeois OMC, Sean Watkins signature model

1988 Collings D2H, Brazilian

1928 Gibson A model mandolin

Robin's Reel
I got this tune from a John Reischman CD, who is one of my favorite mandolin players. I'm playing the lead on the Bourgeois OMC, my son Ryan is backing up on the Collings D2H.

Rites of Man
Inspired by Mark Cosgrove's version on his Good Medicine CD. This is a great jam tune with enough chord changes to keep you thinking fast when improvising. Robert is playing the mandolin, Ryan plays the second guitar break on the Collings, and I take the other guitar breaks on the Bourgeois.
