Hello everybody! I'm a banjo newbie. I am a 50'ish, happily married human who has been a musician for 40 years, playing woodwinds and concert band instruments....
Will write you off list. Anyone who knows music from an instrument has an advantage in all of this. If you want to learn how to play African American style...
LOL I was just looking at those pictures yesterday wondering who this new guy is who looks exactly like Guy but seems shier than Guy's usual self. Again, do...
That "shyness" that Tony sees is hopefully some humility that I've picked up along the way thanks to my teacher, Dom (another teacher), you Tony, Sule and a...
I would also suggest that you ask people who want to make comments or criticisms to email you OFFLIST rather than respond in Youtube. People who are not...
Well put Tony, I didn't mean to suggest that this rhythmic pattern was the "it" of black playing styles. To the contrary, I think it is one way of approaching...
Tony, Â What makes you think that I'm interested only in Flat and Scruggs fingerpicking style? Because I'm from Tennessee? You saw my posting and stereotyped...
Clara, I think there's been a misunderstanding of Tony's content and intent on your part. Having been a member of this list for over a year I believe that Tony...
I'm new to this. So I'll publicly apologize to Tony. Tony, I am so very sorry. When I saw write off list, I took it to be something completely different. Like...
It's all good. Keep contributing. What kind of early American music speaks to you? I came to this list seeking one thing, and through this list discovered so...
Tony, I am deeply embarassed and sorry about the way I spoke to you. I had no idea what "write off list" meant. I thought that you were saying that you were...
Clara, I can't speak for Tony, but if I were you, I'd wouldn't worry about it anymore. You seem like a real nice lady! BTW(By the way) what part of Tennessee...
I'm from Oliver Springs, TN. Thanks for being so gracious to me. I will pass it on. ________________________________ From: javavbnick <javavbnick@...> ...
I'm not really sure. The more I learn, the more there is to learn. My grandmother and her siblings played a lot of music. And they loved to buck dance. But the...
Does anyone know of someone making traditional quills and ofering them for sale? thanks, /greg [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I get my quills from an Andean musician named Edmond Badoux. He is the fellow who made the quills for Mike Seeger for a long time. I recommend them. You can...
Thanks Don, I'm a digest subscriber and cant figure out how to reply to just you off the web site. Would you kindly sen me Edmond's info at my email address...
One thing that I associate with quills is the way they are used by Sid Hemphill and Henry Thomas, two very early songsters. Sid Hemphill and Lucius Smith (on...
Someone on this listserve was complaining that there isn't much footage of Joe and Odell. I have a DVD of a 1989 documentary: "Step it Up and Go." It has a...
Our friends Greg C. Adams and Tony Thomas each have a presentation as part of the Suwannee Banjo Camp. Come on down! Here is the general update. Hello...

(Listening to Dan Gellert's CD, "Waitin' On The Break Of Day.") Wife is out on the town and son is knocked out! It's late (too late, in fact) and my bed is...
I whole heartily and encourage you to make a banjo. I learn how to make mine with gourd banjo artist David Holt at the Arkansas Folk Center while living a...
I was advised to choose a style of playing that I wanted to play, then concentrate on that. I really honor the old time Black banjo players from long ago. I'm...
there may be a file in the archives that has a list of all available compilations of African American banjo recordings. What do you want to play? Sting band...
