David Harman - We at the Smyth County Jam are delighted to have visitors and make MOST welcome those who come from far-away places. David Harman comes from Wollengong, Australia, which is about an hour south of Sidney, on the east coast. He comes with three main purposes: 1) Buddy Blevins has made him a mandolin and he is picking it up. 2) He has friends who went to the recent Galax Fiddlers Convention and recommended it to him. 3) He has a brother and family who live in Colorado and he will be visiting them later. David plays guitar, mandolin, and fiddle; also does some back-up singing. He began in music when he was nine years old. David says his maternal grandmother played piano very well and that there are lots of singers in his family. When he is home David plays in several bands. He states he is a big fan of Tony Rice's music. We wish him well in his travels in our country.
