This is a recording my Dad made on a little cassette recorder back in 1968. The banjo picker is me when I was 14 years old. The banjo was an RB-250 bowtie with the factory D tuners.

Thanks guys.......my Dad who passed away in 03 taped every show and most practices we ever done About 2 years ago my cousin's wife found all the tapes and salvaged what she could and made 3 CD's out of them. My cousin who is not in this recording was the mandolin player and one of the singers in the band.......and he is 3 years younger than me. |

Sounds like you learned kinda like I did I started playing when i was eighteen and when i was nineteen I got asked to join a band and when i did that I had choice but to learn fast. Best thing that ever happened to my picking was joining that band it gave me no choice but to practice and practice hard. |

Know the feeling ....had to learn a lot of stuff fast but I also had to learn playing in closed chords. I would never had progressed as much if I had just played around the house. |
