First Blog: Introduction
My name is Ron and I am originally from Maine. I joined the Army about a year after high school in 1997. My job was Field Artillery and I was also Airborne. I have traveled all over the globe. My first time in Alaska was 2001 stationed at Ft. Richardson which is now JBER. I fell in love with it and changed my residence and knew I was going to retire here. I met my wife here as well. We have two boys and one girl. We also have an amazing exchange student from Japan, her name is Kei.
I enjoy all types of music from bluegrass, country music (the older stuff), and all types of rock and metal. I don't play a music at this time. I have always wanted to play the mandolin, but just can't seem to find the time or a teacher. I do enjoy concerts, live music is amazing. This weekend we listened to many bands at the State Fair.
Ricky Skaggs is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love bluegrass music too. Not to mention New Grass music. I am currently working on a Haloween ukulele spoof with friends in Maryland who introduced me to the song - "Cabin of Death."
ReplyDeleteI love the mandolin too. My sister used to play it but stopped because life got her too busy with school and work. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the madolin before and I have seen people playing the insturment but I wasn't sure what you were talking about so I googled it. It looks like a very fun instrument to play. I hope you one day get the chance to persue it.
