i've just figured out i am.

around March of each year, i get this heavy draw to just concentrate on clawhammer banjo-the approaching warmth of sultry summer days and nights, the insects singing into the moisture rich night air of the Virginia mountains where i live, it all just fits in with some dropped tunings of slow lonesome clawhammer.

in the midst of winter, usually around December, i start feeling the yearning of just hanging out with a mandolin.

picked up two mountain dulcimers last summer, and although i haven't had much time to spend with them, i can easily see that instrument having its own time with me. beautiful music from these simple wooden boxes.

a guitar or tenor Uke fills in the between times.

anyone else out there go off for periods on something different from our guitars?
