The most Kentuckinest trip a Kentuckian ever did K The most Kentuckinest trip a Kentuckian ever did Kentucky. Miss this place all the time and all the things ya just can’t find in California.
Yesterday, in the middle of my gig, I was surprise Yesterday, in the middle of my gig, I was surprised and honored to receive the commission of Kentucky Colonel from my banjo student, fellow Kentuckian, and unbeknownst to me, Colonel Sammy Knight. “The Kentucky Colonelcy is the highest title of honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.” It is issued by the Governor upon the recommendation of other Colonels “in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to our community, state, and nation.” Ever since I was a kid I’ve seen fellow Kentuckians I admire awarded these - sometimes even other musicians - and would imagine how cool it would be to be a colonel one day. Early on in my Friday gig, I recognized Sammy in the audience and couldn’t help but notice his formal dress, complete with western bow tie and regal walking cane, but I didn’t think twice about it. Towards the end of my set he walked up to the stage and told me he’d been given permission from the venue’s management to make an announcement, and then he made my day! Thank you Sammy for nominating me for my study, performance, and teaching of Kentucky music, and for the surprise presentation! This now officially extends my title to Col. Dr. Clinton Davis.
Arizona is pretty awesome. Just back from a week o Arizona is pretty awesome. Just back from a week of hikes, friends, gigs, and honky-tonkin. And I got a new fiddle ta boot. Come hear me play it in San Diego at @grandolebbqflinnsprings this Friday 6-8 with my stringband.

Amos Johnson Rag. Amos Johnson was an early 20th-c Amos Johnson Rag. Amos Johnson was an early 20th-century black guitar player from Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. I'm not aware of any recordings of Johnson, but this tune circulated amongst other guitarists in the region. Mose Rager learned it directly from Johnson, and then shared it with Merle Travis, who later arranged and recorded the tune, retitled as "Guitar Rag." Tennessee guitarist Sam McGee also played the tune though he also learned it from an intermediate source, and not from Johnson directly.

Just wrapped a beautiful week of producing a colle Just wrapped a beautiful week of producing a collection of songs from @stephen.el.rey at the amazing creative monastery that is @sonicranch . It’s been a week of intense focus, patient work, and great fulfillment, tucked away in a pecan orchard under El Paso sunsets and dark night skies while freight trains whine in the distance. I am so proud to be a part of this work and excited for my friend to share it with the world. Many thanks to the ranch crew and engineer @mauropcastro . We couldn’t have done it without you!
