"I use Joel Hooks custom  LaBella 17's. When I first tried them I thought they were far too thin and slinky, especially as someone who cut my teeth on Chris Sands Heavies, but they are my go-to strings now."

"What beautiful tone!  What strings are you using?  Also I have always disliked left hand vibrato on banjo. It just sounded wrong to me. Until now. You apply it a few times on "Hark..."  and it absolutely works."

The Sentimental Banjo

"It arrived today.  This is an excellent book, Rob. Simple tabbed arrangements like these are exactly what we need to encourage people to have a go at the style in a fun and accessible way. Well done! "

"I'm glad to see someone besides me getting good-sounding  tremolo with something other than the index. My middle finger does it better."

"Thanks Mike - I always keep a look on Ebay in case any interesting sheet music or other items turn up.   There must be a lot of performers who played and sung with banjo who are lost to history."

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!…

Thanks for considering me your friend, Russ.

I wonder if there is any truth in the family legend that my distant relative Alfred Peck Stevens aka Alfred Glanville Vance aka The Great Vance, played a William Temlett Snr. zither-banjo shortly before his death on stage at The Sun Music Hall in 1888? 

Black Jake of Norwich.

Wikipedia : Vance suffered from heart disease, and died on 26 December 1888, at the age of about 49, while performing on the stage of the Sun Music Hall, Knightsbridge.[1][3] He is buried in Nunhead Cemetery, although his headstone no longer exists.
