excellent! noël has lived in portland since some time in 2012, so he likely wandered into the new shop while he was still searching out places in a new city. he's primarily a cellist, but he learned to play guitar from a flamenco artist uncle and the other stringed things followed from there: mandolin, bass, ukuleles of various sizes, steel slide guitar. if he can pluck it, strum it, or bow it (or some combination of the three), he's into it. i also see len's into folk music. that's not noël's bag as far as the noise he makes, but he does love a lot of americana, folk, indie-folk artists so they can talk album collections, too.
