This man has made me want to learn how to play banjo more than anything in the world.
I found a bunch of his live performances on youtube. It seems he’s more of a period musician, playing songs from the minstrel era of banjo music, and often he explains the history behind the songs. Truly, the amount of talent is insane and every song hits u right in the heart. (Recommending music is such an interesting thing, words are hard to describe it)
Highly recommend listening to the songs he played at The Ark! “No More the Moon Shines on Lorena” makes me cry everytime I hear it.

He can Play that Damn Guitar like an eloquent public speaker. He plays like he’s your grandpa telling you the most gripping and fascinating story, pausing to emphasize important details he wants you to remember and he always keeps you wanting to hear more.
I’d recommend The Legend of Blind Joe Death album or Days Have Gone By Vol. 6.

besides free books (physical, digital, audio) the amount of stuff u have access to is wild.
i’m talking board games, sewing machines, language classes, coding lessons, cds and dvds (that you can rip and copy and kEEP - none of the librarians are gonna tell you shit for that), maker spaces, 3D printers, community events, ballet classes, movie nights, car repair lessons, resume help, free national park tickets, bat tours during october! It’s great!
And for free?!?? in thIS economy? Literally why pay for a coworking space when the library is Right there, with free wifi and quiet rooms all to yourself.
And if there are things you don’t see offered but want to? Ask! Or even better, offer!! Start your own thing, get to know your community members.
Utilize your third spaces, they’re great!!
