I am sorry to bring the sad news that our fellow site member and phenomenal banjoist Dave Hum died on November 14th, 2012. If you wish to send your condoleances to his family, please post a comment on this blog post in the Banjo Hangout:
That is very bad news indeed. Dave was a phenomenal player and a nice guy too. He had a genuine interest for the Classic Style and was genuinely impressed by Joe Morley compositions, and played them in his own special way!
This is a great loss to all banjoists. May I offer my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
Really sad news. Watching his videos on youtube and from his website has been amazing. I am deeply sorry his loss, but we have the comfort that music is eternal, so we will continue listening his banjo.
