"Hi Mr. Aaron! Thank you for suggesting this site, it's really cool. I am trying to find a good classic banjo to buy that will sound better than my recording king. I will see you soon."
"Welcome Dante! I've posted many of my own questions to the discussions and always found a friendly and helpful community, so don't be shy. Happy banjoing!"
"Absolutely! That’s a great idea. Last time we got together and had a big jovial sight reading session was so much fun. I’d love to do that again. "

If you explore A notation there is a HUGE volume of just this sort of thing.
These easy pieces seem to me to be social music. Get…"
"Cool! It sounds so much better live, as expected.

"Here’s a video of me sight reading it last night, as written (A A B B A B C C A). https://youtu.be/-Np25aBeZvw"
"I thought it might be Stewart's or Weston's...
It was nearly a national holiday here in the 19th Cent. (famous in song, fiddle tunes, etc). I wonder if Stewart felt any connection.
It was the first melodic style banjo tune I learnt."
"And mine."
"January 8th was S. S. Stewart’s birthday."
"Hi Amazing Marc (we never doubted it, but now we know!)
Thanks for the scores I will upload them to the MUSIC LIBRARY for everyone."

Hi Aaron, Thanks for the friends request. It's been a long spell getting through this Covid
pandemic - thank goodness for a banjo! We're still shut down up here, but some places
are beginning to show signs of life. Stay safe, stay well. Regards, Becky
