Getting to know Jesus Better through prayer and bible study. Music is big interest Both Listening and Playing. More on that later. Computer Technology is a constant topic and much studying is spent there. I like bowhunting but havent been in a good while, planning to ammend that this year. Flight Simulators. Currently Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 is my fav. I have tried FSX and it ran good on my system but I havent felt like ponying up for the full version. I have Flight Gear also and I like it but I just cant squeeze the same realism out of it as the MSFS.
MusicI Play Mandolin, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar and Bass. I like Bluegrass, Southern Gospel, Country, Cristian Country, Jazz, Polka...er, No scratch that. I HATE RAP AND HIP HOP SO DONT ASK.

   ♪♫Pickin Pete♫♪'s Blurbs
About me:
I'm married for 17 years to the love of my life, Angie, and have 2 Kids, Emily - 16 and Tyler - 15. I play in a southern gospel group "The Napier Singers." I play Mandolin, guitar, and bass. I graduated School with the following certifications.

* CompTia A+
* CompTia Network+
* Microsoft 70-270 for Windows Xp
* Microsoft 70-290 for Windows 2003 Server
* PC Operator Cert from Tenn Tech
* Hardware Technician Cert from Tenn Tech
* Network Technician Cert from Tenn Tech
* Microcomputer Specialist Diploma from Tenn Tech

I am currently working on the Microsoft 70-291 for Windows 2003 Server, wich will complete The MCSA certification for Systems Administrator. Wich is slow going because I'm also trying to get better with linux.

Musically Speaking, wich for me is most of the time I'm told =] I consider myself mainly a mandolin player, thats where I am most comfortable and skilled I believe. I do however love the guitar and always have. I started on guitar about 27 years ago so I've been a guitar player the longest. I love the fender telecaster and mostly play in a country style. I also play the bass and although I dont spend alot of time on the bass, I always jump at the chance to jump on it cuz I usually have a lot fun on bass. I once played the 5-string banjo, but I recovered =] I played banjo for about seven years and just as I started getting really good...I realized it didnt fit very well in the music I usually found myself playing . I love bluegrass but I play that by myself mostly, and play gospel most of the time with others and on stage. Angie and I are extreme dog lovers and especially the yorkshire terrier. I had a yorkie years ago named spike that died of old age, and Angie and I had a yorkie a few years ago named..spike! This one died suddenly at the tender age of 6 and we still cry. We will have another yorkie soon and plan to name him...Jazzy! Cool name! I used to live in the downriver area of Michigan, South of Detroit. But I think them yankees started to sense my redneck-nithcity, like in the invasion of the body snatchers, the pointing and shrieking thing. So I packed up the van headed for Tennessee. That was 13 years ago. I think thats enough of this...
Layout by My Wife!
Who I'd like to meet:
Jesus Christ! Says "I'd like to" but I know I will. Mandolinist David Grisman, Mandolinist Adam Steffey, Brad Paisley, Brent Mason, Brad Davis, Alison Krauss, Doc Watson, Tony Rice, James Burton, Now that James Stuart is dead, I could care less about meeting any actors. An awful lot of interesting "regular folks" I haven't met yet, Paris Hilton......NOT!!!!!
