Junior says he plays guitar, bass and a "little" banjo; he is also a fine singer. He says his grandfather played claw hammer banjo.

In addition to his musical hobby, Junior likes to go fishing, when time permits. He is married to an excellent bass player; Carmie Cornett, whom we see now and then. Carmie knows how to slap that old bass to get a lot of music from it. Junior says he likes all bluegrass music, and he could not choose one favorite picker or band. A song he likes very much is the fast-paced "Rolling in My Sweet Baby's Arms." Junior plays in a country group currently called "Country Fever."
