Not very interesting. I like all forms of oldtime banjo, not just clawhammer. I'm not too good at "jamming" per se, because I tend to over-analize things so I like to come up with highly personal arrangements of my tunes and songs. I'm learning to play the fiddle which has made my ear for old time music better than it has been. I don't care for "notey" Missouri fiddle tunes; and Missouri fiddlers, post-WWW-II, didn't seem to care for old time 5 string banjo.
