"Thank you Edward and Joel. I was being very conservative to get the Stewart article published. I will continue to expand it. Anything I can find with a link to will work as a reference to prove the existence of a work. Besides the above mentioned…"

"My best count is 773 pieces of sheet music, but there could be more I don't know about. Same with his compositions.  In printed sheet music he composed at least 71 (this does not include any compositions that were in the books) and…"

"I thought the article on Farland was fantastic. The one on Stewart could have said more about his publications and innovations in banjo construction. Here is a list of publications taken from his catalogue with dates added by me where…"

"OH!  "Not that he was playing with his fingers" as a stand-alone clause meant that "classic" signified his excellence rather than his technique, and it didn't mean that he was not playing with his fingers, which is what…"

"Sorry if I was not clear.  It would have gone without saying that he was playing with fingers, inferred as the default method."

"What a good and thorough response, Joel. I have a question and a comment. Question: if Huntley was not using fingers did he wear thimbles on his toes or what? Comment: don't forget that the traditional folk players also had been playing in…"

""Classic banjo" in the context that we use it today-- to refer specifically to bare fingers on gut/silk/nylon strings playing in the popular 5 string banjo music style of +/- 1860 to 1930 is a development of the 1970s (as best as I can…"

Huntley and expanded the pre-existing article about John H. Lee. I envision, after creating enough biographies, in taking on a classic-banjo history article.I…See More

Jody Stecher replied to Jack's discussion Hello World,
"Being an ear player or being a note reader is not a choice for a note reader. One may be both.  A non-reader may play well without reading but a reader cannot play well without listening.  A musician can be at once an ear player and…"

John Cohen replied to Jack's discussion Hello World,
"Joel is of course correct about ear playing. I wasnt thinking of the ear learning courses offered by Dobson et al. I was thinking more in line with modern ear playing like one finds in the old-time community. My point was that from the earliest days…"
