Back In My Hometown

Posted on: April 26th, 2026 by dville

I have given up my full-time on the road lifestyle and have relocated to my hometown of Fort Bragg, California. I will be offering private and group lessons. If you visit the beautiful Mendocino Coast this summer, give me a shout.

The Natural Way To Music

Posted on: November 10th, 2025 by dville

I co-wrote The Natural Way To Music over 25 years ago with banjo legend Bill Keith. If you want to understand the relationship between notes, scales, chords, and the circle of 5ths, this is the book for you. And all explained in about 60 pages! Order on Amazon HERE.

Go Fund Me

Posted on: October 1st, 2025 by dville

My dear friend Gracie Terzian set up this Go Fund Me to help defer the repairs needed for my home (a MB Sprinter van). I am humbled by this show of generosity. Thank you to all who are helping me continue my musical mission!
