I have a new original song out called, “Spelunking in the Attic.” If you’ve ever explored the attic of an old house hoping/expecting to find some wonderful treasure or antique, this song might strike a chord.

For the Banjo Folk Song of the Week workshop #105 I show you how to play another Irish song for St Patrick’s Day — a real good one, but one that may be a little more obscure. It’s called “Johnny Jump Up,” and it was made popular by the Irish singer Christy Moore. I think you’ll enjoy this one!

With St Patrick’s Day somewhat in view in the distance I decided to do my Banjo Folk Song of the Week (#103) on the Steve Earl song Galway Girl. I used this song a few years ago, but I thought folks might appreciate a new updated workshop for 2023!

I have a new original song that may feel appropriate for people of a certain age who suffer from CRS (Can’t Remember Shit).

My latest Banjo Folk Song of the Week is #100 in the series of workshops. In this latest video I show how to play “Call Me The Breeze,” the JJ Cale song, which later became a Lynyrd Skynyrd hit.

Fellow players…

Wondering how well-populated is right now?

I’m making a concerted effort to improve my beginner playing again with Dan Levenson, Josh Turknett and Evie Ladin materials.

I’d started with Dan’s book but recently bought the DVD. Wow! Just working with early days exercises and loving it! Dan and Josh seem to be on the same page with drop thumb and even just using it as a rhythmic tool makes things so much more interesting.

I’ve never been to the States but the mountain modal sound flicks a switch deep inside so I’m looking forward to learning a few of those tunes in the future.

I’ve an 2109G and a RK37 right now. I’ve fitted back-facing planetary geared tuners to the Ozark as I really disliked the stock ones. I had railway spikes put on both, but I use the plastic pen tops hack if I need to capo (from double C to double D for now). I use a G7 capo for the other strings.

Anyhow, if you’re an picker then give me a heads-up so I can add you to my banjo list if you’d like.

Oh yeah, anyone know where everyone went from that isn’t FB, IG or TW? Would love to know if there’s a hangout that I just haven’t come across. 🪕😁

This evening I 1: successfully adjusted a banjo truss rod, eliminating string buzz on the instrument. 2: rebuilt a epiphone acoustic electric that was gutted, getting the electrics and harness reinstalled and now its strung up and playing nicely. Ill try plugging in in the AM
