neration to generation and was written using a number system.I still can't believe that I taught a taoist monk how to play the banjo. How's that for spreading bluegrass music to a group of people that rarely ever leave the monastery and have never played anything except their traditional music. The monks had seen the other instruments but never a banjo. It really blew my mind -- a once in a lifetime experience that will happen for a one in billions of people. How fortunate we are.

What a phenomenal exchange of musical culture! And how just like Dierik to immediately want to share the banjo with someone new! Thanks for letting all of us tag along on your incredible journey!

Dierik, you're probably one the greatest ambassadors Columbia has ever had. Keep sharing your heart.
