"I would say the downstroke part is being done with a "thimble". "
"Hello Russ,

The Oldest Surviving Banjo Recording
Absolutely fascinating little Podcast. Richard Ineson knows a bit about this guy.We love the shock the family express on discovering their ancestor was in fact not a Spanish guitarist after all but but a banjo player!I've ordered the vinyl so I'm going to wait to have a really close listen, but What do we think of the style - is it stroke or guitar?See More

Click that and then…"

Since then I've changed the head and given it a good once over with the metal polish,…"

A Joe Morley Pilgrimage
I took advantage of a trip to a client in South London today to pay a visit to Joe Morley's grave.

The accompanying text is probably of limited interest to you specialist expert types here but thought I'd share it anyway!…
