THIS is how to hold a banjo!

It appears that I have been doing it incorrectly!

... as I do not wear a winged collar with my bow-tie and tuxedo.

I like the tone he gets from his banjo. The intro is different from the printed one.  It's better I think. I wonder if Joe Morley played it this way.

Hi Ian

Thanks for that. Here's George Morris playing the opening strains of Morley's "Popinjay Polka", several years after the BMG article was published.

This was a home recording made by Cliff Spaulding while visiting the UK in March, 1966. It has been digitally restored.
