I am really enjoying reading the old BMG's. Apparently the staff of BMG were very impressed with this 'ingenious device' and bought a stockpile to sell to readers for a shilling each (BMG 1918 05) -…Continue

"Sorry to hear that, Ian - that must be very hard. The banjo has always been a friend to me during tough times.
Re zither intonation problems, sometimes it can be that the tuners are loose if it goes out-of-tune (once the nylon strings have…"
'SILVER WING SCHOTTISCHE'
"It's nice that you have some history to your zither. I think I will continue to use my CE Special for ragtime as it has a dry, snappier sound whereas the zither is more suitable for slower, expressive pieces. I must admit I find my…"
"That's a great tune. I love that cover art as well."
'The Thriller Rag (classic banjo)
"I don't know how I missed this Carrie... too much Christmas cheer, I guess!
Excellent performance indeed... you are getting really good! A delight to hear this great tune and the "Special" sounding so nice."
"Congratulations on your find. Looks really nice and look forward to hearing a sound sample. I was tempted by this one - am sure you won't have any trouble selling it on should you choose to :)
I need to stop looking on Ebay - today…"
'The Thriller Rag (classic banjo)
"Thanks Steve. Your arrangement works well for fingerstyle banjo. I haven't had any luck finding actual banjo compositions by women so piano compositions are the next best thing! I will check out your other arrangements. …"
'The Thriller Rag (classic banjo)
"Hi Carrie, Well done, that was a very good performance of one of the best pieces of ragtime music. Aufderheide deserves more recognition for her compositions. I suppose being a women in what was then a man's domain hasn't…"
"Thanks for making this available, Joel. I have always been curious about this tutor. It came up on Ebay UK once but I missed it! "
"Welcome back, Ian. I will be interested to hear your progress (and what your Wilmshurst zither banjo sounds like!).
I have also started playing the 5string again after a break. I have a list of tunes I would like to learn but also am…"

Might be worth letting the folks here know: https://www.facebook.com/groups/foaotmad
I hope you come to lovely Norwich - I recently saw Alison de Groot and Tatiana Hargreaves here (the gig was organised by Corncutter…"
"Hello Nick. Happy to join in and give feedback.
I think the Weavers have a 'dry' sound with a strong bass - more plunky. The whyte ladie banjo will have a brighter-tone. A tubaphone would have even more resonance…"

Hello again...and some playlists
I have been a way for a while - I got distracted trying to learn some AJ Weidt pieces on the tenor banjo - but I now have the itch to start playing the 5-string banjo again.
I thought I'd share some Playlists I created on YouTube for Sunday listening/watching: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb6ujCgXt0SQrmdTyZ3WOJqLe2h2HxeYJ
Here is another one which is more ragtime…

The Bell Chimes
A pretty little tune - this is the Herbert J Ellis version (but with the Dobson intro). Hope you like this one, Ian (our resident Bell Ringer)

Edit by Ian:
I have added a Music player for Carrie's recording.
Very nice indeed Carrie, and a nice sounding banjo too. You sound better than my Handbell Ringing Team…

Your playing sounds very tasteful on my old Stewart Banjeurine,
I recently sold it to Kevin @ Findajo !

Hi Carrie,
I have really enjoyed playing stroke style from the Briggs' book on my tackhead but I'm finding the classic style much more satisfying, even at this very early stage. I'm taking it very slowly, working from 'Ellis's Thorough School' and as I'm retired, I have plenty of time to practice. I really do appreciate your offer of help.
If you, or any fellow players live near me and might fancy meeting up occasionally, please message me. I live near Eastbourne, East Sussex. I also travel to Oxfordshire every couple of weeks for a camping weekend so I could make a brief detour.
Best wishes, Ian.

Hi Carrie.
I started a msg to you, but my finger hit a button somewhere...away it went. You mentioned you liked City Point Jig. If you would like a copy I can send it or post it on this site somewhere. It's in "A" notation. Clarke
