Another Update on the Future....
Hey everyone Thank you for all your contributions on the other thread where we were discussing the future of the website. I now have everything I need. To summarise we will be replacing this site with a totally new one. I've been working with Ian…See More

Dancing Darkies..1902..Walter E Petry
This is a tune that could have been written for banjo. It's the first one I've come across that was written to advertise a company i.e. E.C.Atkins Saw Works (see title page for more info). The piano score was written GMin/F/Bb but BMin/D/G works…See More

Walhalla (A Two Step Craze)..1910..Paul Pratt

City Point Jig (Classic-style banjo)
"I've posted a video demonstrating the obstacles I've encountered in learning to play both these C minor tunes. At present it's a "curate's egg" (parts of it are excellent, or passable anyway). Maybe I should have…"
C Minor Banjo Medley
My first steps in learning to play two 19th century banjo tunes, "The Egyptian Fandango" (Horace Weston, 1892) and "City Point Jig" (John C, Wild, 1887).
"The options of Discussions, Comment Wall, Blog, and maybe other hidden or obscure ways of posting wordshas caused a bit of chaos and confusion. That could be streamlined and made simple. Being able to contact a member privately is a feature worth…"
"'Banjoland' gets my vote."
"Joel,
Sure, a title indicating a place might work. Good point about "parlor" being period-specific and the problem with using such terminology.
I think you are overstating the influence of Karen Linn (that's the actual…"
"Circling back to "parlor", I get it as a reference to a place-- but why not "banjo home" or "banjo living room" or "banjo tavern" or "banjo kitchen" or something?
I have recently written an essay…"
