"That is exactly how I see the Grimshaw exercises, I remember playing them with pleasure rather than as work and because they had musical merit they didn't annoy people who had to listen to me getting to grips with them."

"Please accept my most sincere apologies, my only excuse fo this appalling lapse is my fast fading brain which, like the rest of my crumbling body is 77 years old. Anyway, thank you for your kind thoughts Jody and I trust that I have not offended…"
"Thank you for your kind words Joel. I was taught to play the banjo by L.W.Howe, he had been taught by David Miner, a friend of Parke Hunter. I still remember his various bits of advice about playing the banjo and how to use your time…"
"I chose these three solos because they all have something different to teach you. A Banjo Vamp will get you familiar with 'sliding' on the fourth string' the first time I heard this done, it made me laugh, which is a good thing.…"

"Bert Bassett wrote quite a few banjo tunes, I still play (or rather, what passes for playing these day) 'Jumbo Rag' and Mike Redman used to play 'On the Ganges' a good tune which I think was recorded by Bill Ball. BB also…"

I sent a scan of the music to Ian and he has…See More
"I'm surprised that I'm also put off by the noisy bluegrass-style banjo (having BTDT). I think it is the juxtaposition between it and the smoother attack of the Cello Banjo that creates the issue in my ears. Some pick players just have a…"
"I started to listen to this and will likely enjoy the rest of it.
The compositions are good and I would happily buy a well edited notation only folio of this music.
I have to admit that the zing or ziz noise produced just before the picks…"
"Yes, I follow him on youtube. He mostly plays his own compositions. I like that he is doing his own thing on the banjo. "
"And a Happy New Year to you Richard. Tuning! You're right......getting double strings in tune with each other is hard enough; as soon as one string gets right, the other the other goes sharp or flat. Triple courses are even harder and then it…"
