Portland Oregon players: Want to get together?

Thursday, February 10, 2011 @10:24:51 AM


Interested in getting together at my place in S.E. Portland, Oregon (or elsewhere) for "banjo fellowship?"

  • Sharing songs / music
  • Learning technique from each other
  • Develop friendships with other local players
  • Check out other folks' instruments. You can test drive my bluegrass and open back instruments, which have been upgraded with Tony Pass Thinskirt rims and Bob Fults tailpieces. See how a Tony Pass "Woodie" sounds!
  • Home recording studio capabilities
  • Swap meet: Have an instrument for sale, or want to buy? This could be an opportunity!
  • Learn banjo set-up hints. The author has built two banjos from kits, and learned a fair amount of banjo luthier material. A Drum Dial Indicator is available to assist in tuning your banjo head.
  • Cookies! My "Ken's Healthy Recipe" chocolate chip cookies are very popular. Come hungry, go home filled!

Who I am: Age 62, married with two grown daughters. I play some banjo, piano, guitar, and am learning violin, cello, and drums. I have written many Christian worship songs, which are given copyright-free to those who are interested.  Contact:   Email me at Squeekyministry@yahoo.com
