(cittern, banjo, guitar, MIDI guitar, voice) it is said, was spawned from parents who were exposed to massive radiation leaks while working on a goat ranch near the original Hanford site, although he claims to be adopted. His musical roots are so diverse that hints of Django Reinhardt, Bela Fleck, Hendrix, and other muses bubble up through his playing, often in the same song. His rhythmic precision and sensitive treatment of the music notwithstanding, he plays with a passion and sense of humor that instantly captivate and uplift the soul. Carlos has the distinction of being the only member of the Nots with his own radio show, the Nacho Celtic hour. As if that weren't enough, Carlos also plays classical Chinese music on the Er-hu, and is part of the Dragon Wind Ensemble.
