Lisa Reedy - The Smyth County Jam has an earnest student of banjo among us almost every Monday. Lisa Reedy of Chilhowie comes here to learn techniques and soak up the musical atmosphere. She has yet to get on stage, but the feeling we have is that it won't be too long, and well worth the wait. Lisa is the granddaughter of one of the early and very gifted banjo pickers in this area-- the late Jack Reedy. Lisa says she likes all old time , bluegrass and country music ( and animals!). She resides in Chilhowie, VA and works at Highlands Animal Hospital in Abingdon, VA. Two of her instructors in banjo are Emily Spencer and Dee Dee Price; both extremely gifted women in their own right; Lisa could not have picked two better teachers. Lisa says she admires her grandfather and her teachers : Emily and Dee Dee.
