Steve Harrison posted a discussionDixie Kicks (1908)..Percy Wenrich
Another good composition by Wenrich, it's a very tuneful example of early ragtime and worth a listen and play. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.…See More
thereallyniceman replied to musician's discussion Three banjo arrangements?"Hi Jake,
If you go to the MUSIC LIBRARY and click on "More Options" and then tick the "Multipart Scores" box
the search will bring up quite a few scores, many are arrangements by the late Hal Allert for his banjo orchestra.

Are there any arrangements on this site for 3 regular banjos? Asking for a friend. Ha. Actually doing a classical session with two other 5-string banjo players and looking for more material.ThanksJake…See More
German David Patarroyo left a comment for Steve Harrison"Hi Steve,
Do you have an arrangement of Solace (A Mexican Serenade)?. I just love that tune of Joplin and I would like to try it. Many people know the last section due The Sting, but the other sections are also great"

"Bien joué! Je suis en train d'apprendre ce morceau présentement. Vous me donnez le goût de continuer."
German David Patarroyo replied to Eric Crum's discussion Songs for a beginner?"Agreed with Joel, Spanish Fandango is really catchy and also a good exercise. I would suggest some tunes of the Agnew´s tutorial (for instance, Reckless Rufus, Electric Dance...) and the Bradbury´s book is also great!"
German David Patarroyo replied to German David Patarroyo's discussion 120th Anniversary of S.S. Stewart´s death"Hello Carrie,
I will let you know how I am going with this idea. At the moment I learnt the two parts of Minor Waltz so my goal is recording both. After that, my goal is learning and recording other Stewart´s tunes (for now, the pieces…"

Jody Stecher commented on Richard William Ineson's blog post A very rare tenor banjo for sale on Ebay"To be clear, the finish on the neck of my JE Dallas zither-banjo is the same as on the back of the pot of both mine and the one on eBay (is "Resonator" the right word for the back of a zither-banjo?). Another possible difference is…"
Jody Stecher commented on Richard William Ineson's blog post A very rare tenor banjo for sale on Ebay"It's also interesting that you mentioned the neck, Carrie. The neck seems to have its finish stripped. The neck on my Dallas zb has a bit of gloss. The heel carvings are similar on the two banjos. But the neck of mine (#6633) is of several…"
