One reason I love this forum is that here I can be a student, a learner. I can also give advice and information if I happen to know something about
the topic, but mostly I am here to learn. I love being a student of the oud and *not* an expert player.

I hope it's not too presumptuous of me to speak, that -Jody was among my first inspirations in studying and playing American old-timey music. About
15 years ago I discovered "folk music" - old-timey style banjo, mandolin and fiddle (after decades of flamenco toque study), and listened to Jody's
music (and with his partner Kate) on CDs for years - sang the songs with my wife.. Jody's renditions were my first entrée into the Carter Family,
and then others like Boggs, Holcomb, Watson, other pickers, more bluesmen, more American rural blues and folk... Thanks Jody - my furlough through
folk eventually landed me studying medieval repertoire and tunes on clarsach, cajun fiddling, bal-musette accordion, jelly roll on plectrum banjo, and
of course... oud
