GR Tanfield - a Sheffield coincidence...
This is a post of no consequence whatsoever but it might raise a smile or spark some reminiscences.I recently relocated to Sheffield from London.I was just flicking through BMG Magazine from March 1939 and idly looked at the teachers directory. Much to my delight it lists one GR Tanfield of 83 Sharrow Street.Sharrow Street is where I now live! What are the odds?Any memories of Mr (I'm assuming it was a Mr) Tanfield?…See More
"Brown Dog banjos in Kent has a couple I think, a CE and a cheaper Dallas, albeit both very playable and decent sounding instruments, sadly Bob passed away some weeks ago but his widow Tina seems to still be in business ."
Looking for a Plectrum banjo...
I hope you'll all forgive me going a little off topic but does anyone have a decent player quality Plectrum banjo for sale?I've been invited to join a band, and I've always fancied having a go at some trad banjo.Having said that it will be a side project, and will also be outdoors a lot so I don't want a very high quality or historically interesting instrument. But I'd like a decent one rather than an old banger. They are not all that easy to come by in the UK.Can anyone help me out?See More
"I seem to remember Banjo Times was quite good.
I'm afraid any copies I had are long gone, but it would be nice to read them again. "
"I have no system . I have only a few originals of individual pieces These I keep in a manila folder. I do have some original books. These are on a book shelf. I do use these to read from. When learning a single banjo solo, not from a book,…"
"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.
All the sheets are organized by…"
"Originally, I used screw-together scrapbook binders. I still have them but once I get it all digital, I'm having a bonfire! ;^)"
"I don't use binders, but the IKEA storage boxes are:
...cheap, they stack and have labels and you can file your documents in any way that you want to...i.e alphabetically, by composer, publisher, etc etc..... and at 10"…"
Sheet music storage...
I have just moved house and I'm sorting out my library.How do you guys store your sheet music?Most classic banjo stuff seems to be the old 9.5" x 12.5" manuscript standard. Are there binders available?Any thoughts or suggestions?See More
"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."
"There is a tune in there called Hypatia which seems to be described as a "Morceau Pathétique".
What's one of them?"
"Brilliant work Russ! I have not heard this for ages. Thank you for putting this all together with the graphics!
A really good listen, and I am only half way through :-)"

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.
I've written it up in a post on my blog at Walthamstow Folk Club - http://www.walthamstowfolk.co.uk/blog/?p=206
The accompanying text is probably of limited interest to you specialist expert types here but thought I'd share it anyway!…
