Michael Coleman - We are happy to see Michael Coleman here at the Smyth County Jam. He comes to us from Birchleaf, Virginia. He is a member of Gary Edwards' "Basic Grass Band". Michael plays guitar and sings also. He had an uncle, (now deceased), who played banjo. He has one living child. Michael was a coal miner, now retired on disability. He worked in the mines for seventeen years. Michael says he admires the music of the Jackson Family; they are a gospel group. His favorite song is "Once Was Enough" by Mike Johnson.
