Polka no.1 in C major Alfred A. Farland (score and recording)

"Hi Austin, Would you be so kind as to record the tune as a straight polka? I believe that the contrasting examples would further highlight your rendition that demonstrates Farland's intentions. Kind regards, Ian."

IAN SALTER replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Zarh Bickford's Unplayable Chords?
"Just to be clear, I totally agree that the tune can't be played as written, on a 5 string banjo. As I'm sure you did, I tried it on mine and agreed with Joel's findings. So, purely out of curiosity, I attempted it on my 7 string…"

IAN SALTER replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Zarh Bickford's Unplayable Chords?
"Yes, I didn't think it was for a 7 string banjo, but do find it interesting that all of the chords can be played as written.  I do like a spoof western, so thanks for the link."

IAN SALTER replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Zarh Bickford's Unplayable Chords?
"I'm a bit pushed for time to do more than a quick play through, so I could be mistaken, but the entire tune does appear to work fairly comfortably on a 7 string banjo tuned gGCDGBD. I don't know anything about Bickford or the origins of…"

"Does anyone (else) remember a 1950s LP series called "Pardon My Blooper"?   Misspoken gems from radio and TV were  reproduced in the grooves. One of them was " And now... Eddie Playbody will pee for you".   "

Thanks Ian - I hope you are enjoying learning classic banjo.  Are you new to playing the banjo or have you migrated over from another style of banjo playing? Let me know if I can be of any help.

Yes, that's me. Although I was playing the banjo before I met him, David

Oh,yes, I've clocked up 50 years and am entering the rheumaticky  fingers stage of Scan's career. However, apart from the Covid effect, even prior to that the places I used to play in had diminished alarmingly.
I've been listening to Olly Oakley on this site - I'd never heard him play material like 'The Policeman's Holiday' or 'Under The Double Eagle' before; Scan played them, all parts. David

I was with Ken Stubbs the first time he ever went to 'Elsie's'. I went a couple of times before I moved to ipswich. Steve Pennells and I used to stay the weekend with Ken in Edenbridge and play at The Crown or The Working Men's Club. I played banjo then. David

Hi Ian

saw your post about moving to Selly Oak; I run Midlands Fretted Orchestra bit too far away in Stourbridge- we’re always very happy to have reading banjo players along! Give me a shout if you fancy coming along. Best wishes, Danielle

Hi Danielle,

Thank you for your invitation. When I've settled in, I'll be in touch to arrange a date to visit you. 

Best wishes, Ian.
