ABOUT RANDAL MORTON

I have enjoyed playing the banjo since I started in 1969 in Memphis, TN along with my Twin Brother Greg on Guitar. (Currently Greg lives in Tuscon, AZ. and is a very accomplished guitarist & featured in the January 2009 issue of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine with 2 CD's availible on Greg Morton.net) In 1973 I performed with the Memphis-based group "Edwin Hubbard & The Prana Band" playing Jazz, Latin & Pop Music. In 1975 along with Twin brother Greg & Mark O'Connor, I won The National Banjo Championship in Winfield, Ks.(on my 21st. birthday). I have had the pleasure to perform with many top professional entertainers & tour many countries thru the years. Recording sessions & banjo workshops with the likes of Be'la Fleck,Bill Keith. John Hartford & many more. I love playing "all styles" of music. Included in 2 Books for Mel Bay Productions: Winfield Winners National Banjo Champions & Banjo 2000 Solo's from The Worlds Greatest Banjoist. Currently playing with 2 groups in Memphis, Grassfire & Devil Train. Teaching banjo & providing "Custom Banjo Tablatures" for banjoist world-wide. I have a "Twin Banjo" project due for release this summer of 2009 with banjoist Terry Ferguson. I am endorsing The "George Banjo" for Tommy George of Sommerville, Tn. I enjoy meeting other musicians of all styles.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace>
