This is the music of the late Larkin Edwards, my dad, a wonderful man who passed away too soon in February 2010. He was a gentle man who was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, who loved bluegrass music with a passion matched by nobody that I ever met. He taught himself to play guitar by ear. As an adult he played with several bands in the Baltimore, MD area during the 60's and 70's.

I recently found an old cassette tape of his from 1987 and thought I would share it with all of you. He would have liked that. Some of these were him recording himself picking. Others were from a day when my dad and I were just picking, and my mom recorded it. There are a lot of flubs, and people laughing and carrying on in the background, and every so often you'll hear my mom, who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, joining in :-)

For anybody that loves good old time bluegrass acoustic picking, you'll enjoy my dad's music. Thank you for stopping by!
