Before all the books and the best-seller status, Douglas Wood was, first and foremost, a musician.  “Alive and Pickin'” delightfully captures his return to that role.  With his trademark humor, ease and magical audience rapport, Doug, with band mates Steve Borgstrom and Jeff Engholm, also cranks out some sizzling licks on banjo, mandolin, 6 and 12 string guitars.  This live concert performance weaves together old classics such as Sarah’s Prayer and Mother Nature along with new audience favorites like Blackwater Reel and Junebug Jump, released here for the first time, creating a rich tapestry of warmth, fun and great music.
