Just saying hi

[Banjojuice]

Hi, my name is Joyce and I live in So Oregon with my husband, Dave. I’ve been following Bob’s videos for a couple of years and am finally registering to join the tribe. There is so much great info on this site and I plan on mostly just reading and learning from everyone. Thank you for creating this wonderful way to connect. Hoping to make new friends as well. 

My husband and I camp in a small fifth wheel when we go out together but when I travel alone I go much smaller, usually to music gatherings. I just got and converted a Ford Transit Connect that was used as a wheelchair transport so the floor has been dropped 6”. I can almost stand up in it (I’m 5’6”). It’s a cozy, economic vehicle and I’m looking forward to figuring out all kinds of adaptations. 

I am a musician (old-time, bluegrass and folk and also love the classic rock stuff) and if I can connect with other like-minded musicians so much the better. I play claw hammer banjo, guitar and bass. 

Thanks again for the forum and resources and for allowing me to join. - Joyce

Hi Joyce - your Transit Connect sounds amazing with the dropped floor! I would love to hear more about your music. I live in Northern California, only about 20 miles south of the Oregon border. I wonder how close we are. I'm in the Klamath River Valley.

Welcome to the CRVL Forums  

I would offer you to check out the bottom link in my signature lines (below) as it is a portal of handy stuff.  I live here in Appalachia where Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia all come together.   And Bluegrass is big here.

Here's a couple of Bluegrass musicians you may get a kick out of.  Youtube video.
