"That’s very sad news about Eli Kaufman. He was one of those people who could calmly encourage and inspire, no matter what aspect of the banjo you were interested in. As well as profiting from an exchange of correspondence, Cathie and I spent…"

"Oh, and by the way, congratulations on the addition to the Moss family!  I'm sure he'll do you proud.  Tony"

"Hi, Jason! Welcome to the wacky world of classic banjo! I’ve been thinking about your plea for suggestions of easier things to play, and I hope you find the following useful. Firstly, some observations: Someone once told me when discussing…"

"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…"
