Fun Things We Can All Enjoy

[Joel Hooks]

Unless you have been hiding under a pile of scooped fingerboard cutoffs, you have been following along with the great Joel Hooks Obsessive Scanning Project.

Last night I ripped off a handful of A. J. Weidt pieces.  While most of these are well known (though the circulating copies were not the best) there are a few that might be "new" to folks. 

As expected, Weidt's compositions are very playable and enjoyable to listen to.

I also recommend you check out the rest of the stuff I've been putting up. There are some "new" magazines, a bunch of Fred Bacon (hey Austin, Bacon was Farland's star student) stuff including manuscript written in Bacon's own hand.  Concert programs, catalogs, images, heck... all of it. 

I can't say I'll be able to maintain this velocity, but so far I've been getting at least one thing up a day.

This is monumental. It's not just pushing buttons on a copy machine. It takes work and dedication. Thank you.

It's been hard not to follow. I've been checking for the past few months. I've been excited to tackle the Home Study Lessons for banjo! Plus, The Orchestral Banjoist and Amstrong's Harmony for Fretted Instruments are both very great for understanding banjo orchestra work. Thanks for all of these uploads Joel!
