"I thought we were just talking about original copies.
Heck, I scan everything. If it is mine, I share it here and/or on the Internet Archive so that it will be preserved in infinite copies over the entire world. If it belongs to the ABF, I…"
"I've added comments about all my sheet music - I play a lot of different things and run bands and orchestras etc, but have covered the banjo stuff first. So ignore the rest if it is of no interest - but I thought some people might find it…"
"I am afraid to admit that I have been using the "banker" file boxes. They are ugly and cheap. I get the heaver versions.
I do like the option that Ian posted, I may need to look into upgrading.

Sheet music storage...

"This is dreadful news. Dave was a lovely guy and a guru on zither banjo.
He was the judge when I won the Keeler memorial trophy for fingerstyle banjo a few years ago.
Poor Dave."
"That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing, John."

A really good listen, and I am only half way through :-)"
Syncopatin' Shuffle - A BBC Radio documentary about the banjo...
Whilst doing some de-cluttering of my hard disks the other day I came across this off-air recording of Julian Vincent's 2007 documentary about the banjo. It's good fun and gives some decent space to the Classic style and the UK scene.I added some slides and put it on YouTube. See More
"Totally surreal and beautifully performed ! Bring back the Music Halls :-)
I particularly admire the bow-tie."
They're Beginning To Notice Me!
