<p>Thank you Sylvia,</p>
<p>I have already been working on this and the Videos and Photos on the site are being tested. Have a look at a video and below it is an I LIKE button which will link to your Facebook if you are logged in, or ask you to log in if you are not! .... So HEY PRESTO I read your mind.</p>
<p>Do you think that the button would be useful elsewhere?</p>

<p>Hi Ian , you were asking for suggestions for the site...... have wondered for a while if it were possible to have an " I like " button , the same type of thing that Facebook has. I know there are times when I like some thing on the site but don't want to write a whole lot of comment.</p>
<p> If not possible , or if the majority don't like the idea , so be it. :)</p>

<p>That's the second good report I've had about the tutor, sadly the courier let me down on Friday and didn't deliver the extra stock I'd ordered, consequently I didn't have on the stall yesterday. Anyway Adrian says it's good!</p>

<p>"Oddity" is much simpler solo than "B'land" ..Sunflower is ok but maybe we played it a bit fast on Saturday,</p>

Joel, I was probably influenced by your excellent webpage and contributions on the Hangout. Either that or we are two manifestations of a split personality... Dr. Hooks and Mr Moss?

<p>Mike, are we the same person? I had this very conversation with Eli at the collectors gathering in nashville.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As to the site itself, just as the first time around, I see no reason to have the high tier site. The "minstrel" ning sight seems to do just fine. Also it seems to me that the folks who wanted the option to post videos stored in the ning format, have not posted any. Youtube (or others) with a hyperlink work just fine.

How about 'Banjo Oddity' - arguably (well at least to me!) somewhat simpler than 'Sunflower Dance' or 'Banjoland'?<br/><br/><cite>Mike Moss said:</cite>

I've just got hold of this book and would thoroughly recommend it to any beginner or early intermediate. I started on classic banjo about 18 months ago, went through a bit of a diversion into bluegrass, and am now firmly back into the classic banjo camp.

<blockquote><div>Also, Alan Middleton has written a new tutor (published by the new Clifford Essex company) and for 15 quid it's quite nice. It's a lot more than the Grimshaw tutor, as it includes pictures, explanations on correct stance, picking technique, banjo maintenance, several complete songs, a CD, and both notation and tablature staves, with complete fingerings, for all tunes and exercises. It's a little too basic for me but I mainly bought it to teach my girlfriend the banjo (I don't know all that much about teaching myself) and it really is the definitive fingerstyle banjo book for the 21st century. It also includes the complete score to Donkey Laugh and a section on effects, which is a nice plus :-)</div>
