  • Portrait of McAulay with his banjo. “I built it out of wood that used to be a shade tree on my family’s farm in Franklin, TN. It is my talisman – my sword.” He moved to Nashville in 2003 but returned to Asheville for the mountains, music and art. “There are many characters in this town. I like being one of the characters.”
