Found this great picture from my first garage band - I think I was 13 or 14. The picture on the right is from a recent show - I still play in a garage band although now we have a music studio and much nicer equipment. Keep playing. #livemusic #garageband #livinlife #guitar

Camp's first experience with snow. At first he was a little reluctant but quickly learned to love it. Living in the southeast means he can enjoy snow maybe once every 5 years. #ncsnowstorm #southernblizzard #bordercollie #gooddog

When you best adventuring partner has four legs and a furry butt. #bordercollie #gooddog #adventure #getoutdoors #mansbestfriend #dirtydog

That time when you had the correct harmonica to randomly sing and play in the street. That rarely happens. #harmonica #iwillflyaway #banjo #guitar #singing #streetperformance

Camp 1 on Kautz glacier route #MountRainier What a fun climb with a group from #northcarolina #getoutdoors #livin @surfwindandfire.bsky.social

My wife asked me to paint our carriage house. I selected a color called Heritage Amber. She thinks it is orange. #newbern #historichomes

Favorite hobby - playing guitar. This is a #telecaster I just converted to a b-bender with new green pick-guard and blue anodized hardware - very twangy. #fender #customguitar #music #guitar

Hiking in the Mt. Cook National Park, #NZ … one of my favorite places. #travel #newzealand #walktheworld

I don’t think Banjo, our 2 year old Border Collie, enjoyed his Holiday accessories - although he continued to wear the headwear. #merrychristmas #happyholidays #bordercollie

Everytime I ask my wife to take a jumping pic, she gets a little upset knowing that someday I will lose my balance and fall to my demise. So far, so good. #bluemountainnationalpark #australia #spain #camino #hiking #travel #jumping

Camp, our 2 year old #bordercollie , is enjoying this Sunday morning. I hope everyone is having a good day like Camp. #gooddog #camp #goodmorning

The view from our tent around 11,000 ft. - Mt. Rainier. A great trip taking the Kautz glacier route. #washington #mtrainier #climbing #greatview #camping #getoutdoors

Outdoor clothing and gear tradeshow in #reno #nevada ... Took one day to drive to Lake Tahoe, walk the trails and eat tastee grub. #laketahoe #getoutdoors #travel #outdoorretail #explore #california #bestjobever

Each time I take the Border Collies for a car ride, and I mean each time, one thinks he is driving and the other rides shotgun. If only they had keys to the car. #bordercollie #livinlife #gooddog #drivingwithdogs #minicooper #dogs

6 weeks walking through #France and #Spain allowed me to experience a cultural and spiritual journey. Growing up in a #fundamentalist church, I had to unlearn the legalism of my childhood. The #Camino was an opportunity to see that most of us are navigating life with curiosity and grace. #go #hiking

Love the orange sand in Uluru Kata Tjuṯa National Park, #australia The sunset is perfect for shadow people. #uluru #walktheworld #travel #livinlife

The best fish and chips in New Zealand. Great lunch with a great view. #newzealand #lunchwithaview #goodeats #southisland #friedfood #travel #walktheworld

Tidal shift while hiking into Queenstown, NZ. Livin’ life. #newzealand #queenstown #trekking #walktheworld #travel

Free advice for today… Place ear to eucalyptus tree, tap to see if hollowed by termites. If hollow sounding, it is ready to become a didgeridoo. #australia #uluru #walktheworld #didgeridoo #travel #livinlife

What makes a band? Two or more musicians... maybe. Sometimes we simply enjoy playing music on the streets in #newbern #northcarolina . Can you be a one man band? #guitar #banjo #fiddle #lovemusic

Exploring the South Island, New Zealand. #newzealand #travel #blundstone #hiking

Met this really cool spider on my front porch. Can someone identify? #spider #newfriend #largespider #southernliving

The best part of my work day is visiting with the neighborhood pets. For some reason, our retail store is a stopping point for dogs of all sizes. All are welcome. #dogs #gooddogs #retail #selfemployeed #surfwindandfire #outdoorretail #lifeisgood

Really enjoyed this didgeridoo workshop in Uluru, Australia. #australia #travel #uluru #didgeridoo #walktheworld #musiclover

Playing the tele ultra on stage in Washington, NC at the Turnage theater. #telecaster #washingtonnc #guitar #fender #playingguitar #thebonafides #enjoyinglife

Enjoyed playing guitar and harmonica at this fundraising event for Western North Carolina. The damage from Hurricane Helene will take many years to completely recover. #hurricanehelene #harmonica #bobdylan #sweetheartoftherodeo #localband #musicforlife

Typical day at work... discussing Faroe Island travel plans with co-workers, testing appropriate clothing and they turn the experience into an overly dramatic video. #getoutdoors #travel #winterclothing #Fjallraven #faroeislands #outdoorrertail #retail

Trying to channel my Luther Perkins... I truly enjoy playing the guitar. It is both meditative and a creative outlet. This was at the Mum Festival. #johnnycash #lutherperkins #newbern #northcarolina #telecaster #mumfest

Three US military veterans spending time on Omaha Beach enjoying the gift of life, grateful for the ones that have worn the uniform before us and the ones that wear it now. #veteran #france #normandy #gonavy #goarmy #voteblue
