I got it BAS, and that ain't good
(B.A.S. - banjo acquisition syndrome)
Like some other folks on this site (ahem - Rob - ahem) I seem always to be on the lookout for yet another banjo. Bernunzio's site is looked at weekly - more often if I'm especially covetous. I also check out a shop that is relatively local to me called Buffalo Bros ... Recently I went up to their shop to check out 4 different banjos (pics on the BB site): a 1920s Van Eps; a Fairbanks &… Continue

Bill Evans playing a banjola
Here's a link to Bill Evans playing Frank Converse's arrangement (with variations) of Home Sweet Home ...

I've watched it about 6 times now ...
I believe the kids today would say he "shreds!" :)

Syncopatin' Shuffle
Hi All,
About 3 years ago there was a program presented by Julian Vincent on BBC Radio 4 called Syncopatin' Shuffle. I have a copy of this program and listened to it again this week. I think it's a wonderful show and think some of you will enjoy it too. It's not strictly about classic banjo - it covers minstrel/stroke-style, classic, bluegrass and clawhammer.
I contacted Mr Vincent and while he is not the copyright holder (the BBC is) he had no issue with me making it… Continue

Marmion Schottiche
Attached is a version of Marmion Schottiche from Clarke Buehling's "Choice Music for Banjo and Banjeaurine." I play it in eAEG#B rather than standard C. It's played on my ca. 1880s Morrison with nylgut strings.
It's a rough recording - both in its playing and actual recording. But had I decided to wait for perfection I'd never post anything ... :)
Feel free to advise, criticize, or comment.
Finally, what do you folks use to record your tunes? If anyone has… Continue

Trapdoor2 said… - HI Adam. Yes, I'll upload the TAB for Sunflower Dance for you tomorrow night, too late to do it tonight. I have both parts (1st and 2nd banjo) for it, so if you can find a friend, it makes a great duet (and the 2nd part is very easy).

Clarke Buehling said… - I was out at the California Banjo Gathering in Sacramento last October and played a few gigs around the area. The only way to get me or the Old 78s,
or the Skirtlifters for that matter, would be to find a keystone gig like a festival.
I have a couple sisters in Santa Barbara and one in Orange county, so I do
come through on holidays sometimes.

Ture Holm said… - Thanks Adam!
I just found this website by chance, I love it!
It seems to be a nice variety of people, anything from beginners to advanced.
I have never played classic before so this will be a new challenge for me.
Hope you're keeping well in sunny California dude!

Carl Anderton said… - I listened to all your audio feeds-- I guess I missed them before- they aren't as "prominent" as the video's perhaps-- anyway you sound good, lots of style and passion in your playing. I especially dug your Gumbo Reel. Good stuff there.
