Butch Robins, banjo picker… and blogger!

Well known banjo player, former Bluegrass Boy, and now successful autobiographer Butch Robins has joined the blogosphere. His new blog is called The Cyber-Journal of Joseph Calvin “Butch” Robins, and is subtitled “The Thoughts Of An Itinerant Banjo Player.” Much of the current blogging is centered around Butch’s recent trip to Australia to play and teach banjo, and speak about the origins and history of the music.

Anyone who has read Butch’s recent autobiography, What I Know ‘Bout What I Know, will know what to expect from Butch’s blog – and won’t be disappointed.

Butch is back now from Australia and we hope to continue reading his blog for some time.
