   About Kirk Withrow
Started playing banjo at the end of college in an effort to learn the E minor lick in the hillbilly chase music from 'Bonnie and Clyde' (Foggy Mountain Breakdown/Earl Scruggs) and it just went from there. Since then I picked up some guitar, mandolin, and dulcimer. On occasion I mix a bit of electronica, mostly trance stuff. Recently I've taken to making/playing cigar box guitars and other such instruments. I listen to (or have listened to) nearly all genres of music excepting modern soul-less radio pop and new trash country. That's pretty much where I am today, hanging out in the dirty writing songs about stupid shit.

Howdy Kirk,
Just stopped by Ebay. And gotta say I love the "serpentcaster" story. Nice instrument too!
P.S. You may be spending too much time under the influence of another story telling, royalty like fellow we know.
