Details:
In 2006, musicians Scott Patrick and Abe Goorskey started playing together and learning each other's style of music. Patrick, a guitarist, and Goorskey, a guitarist and mandolin player, both play bluegrass differently. "We started playing and had a good connection from the start," Goorskey said. "I saw it as an opportunity to learn from him because he's more of a straight-ahead bluegrass player and I was playing in more of a progressive bluegrass band at the time." The duo met about five years ago at the Floyd Country Store's weekly music jamborees. Patrick's grandfather Shelby Vest gave Goorskey's mother, Debra Gallagher, fiddle lessons. "Our families knew each other from jamboree, and we always wanted to pick together," Goorskey said. So the pair started playing music together on nights and weekends after work. Goorskey works at Phoenix Hardwoods in Floyd, and Patrick is an engineer at Luna Innovations in Blacksburg. The two started arranging songs, playing shows together locally and writing pieces. That led to the recording of a CD called "Back When I Had You," which is scheduled to be available April 10 on Blueview Records, Patrick's Riner-based recording studio.
