More About Ripton
Started with the strings in grade school but gave up music as the school department was not funded and my family not secure enough to provide lessons. Now in my 50s, I have been blessed in life and now have a wonderful family and secure job. A few years ago, my daughter picked up the Violin/Cello and my wife started on the Violin so I naturally grabbed the Viola. With big hands and an appreciation for the deeper tones, I love this fiddle. With a love of the music and a real desire to spark up the life around the campfire at our mountain cabin I started self teaching for my first few years, but started formal lessons March of 2013. I love what my wife calls Mountain Music. Although I seem to be a slow learner, and the years have not been kind to my hearing, I really enjoy the opportunity to pick up a new piece and put it all together. My music is a combination of Suzuki/ Celtic/Bluegrass/Folk and Christian and some other pieces I'm really not quite sure of. I hope you enjoy.
Fun Stuff about the Artist
Life on the Street
Sadly none as a musician. The only performing I have under my belt was as an EMT and a time in college that I can not talk about.
My Instrument
Started with school rentals with a violin in the 60s, then the cello but things change and I was tuneless for many years. I recently laid to rest my student Klaus Mueller Prelude and picked up a Fiddlerman Master 16.5" Viola with a Glasser XC bow
