I am so excited to be in another band, The Tater Diggers. My buddy Ben Scales and I started our little band in North Georgia in Ellijay last summer. We were just pickin on the porch and we had to come up with a name and we remember seeing all the kids that day digging potatoes out of the garden, and hence, the name of our band sprung out. Also joining The Tater Diggers, is Kevin Scanlin, who brings his sea shanties and New Hampshire style tunes. He is a wonderful banjo player. The Tater Diggers played this past weekend at the Montford Music and Arts Festival, that Ben Scales organized. We were graced with this gig because our dear talented musician buddy Cary Fridley joined us on bass and Larry Jerry joined us on washboard. We opened up the festival at 10am and here are a few shots. Cheers.

On a side note, I am digging this Classic 1978 Jackson Five Hit “Blame it On the Boogie”. This video rocks all the way from the song, the afros, the dancing and Michael Jackson. I want to cover this song Big time.
