I spent a very pleasurable 2hrs last night playing 2nd banjo. I have a single regular "student" (Bill is about my age but has only recently started playing the banjo) who is interested in Classic style playing. I initally got him hooked into learning to play "Sunflower Dance" and he's now capable of playing it at a moderate tempo...so I've started playing 2nd. It finally fell together at last nights workshop and even the coffee-shop denizens took notice.
I added "Cupid's Victory" to his list a few weeks ago and we were able to play it thru without stumbling too much...so I tacked on "Light Heart Polka" last night. He is gaining confidence and starting to address some of the more complicated techniques.
I really enjoy playing this stuff. It is not particularly complex music but the satisfaction of hitting everything "just right" is amazing. I'm going to sneak in a recorder next time. I'll post the soundfile when it happens.
