I see a few new members! Great, pass the word. I've been busy with veterans advocacy and other community volunteering but I always check in to this very special group of players.

Everyone thought it a hoot when I brought the Gold Tone to a local event, and I don't consider myself a banjo player!

Hope everyone had a great, music filled summer.

Sincerely, trapped behind enemy lines in NYC,

Tony Sal

I will keep beating on my Vega untill it gets here. This is the first group I joined and it's the best. I look at it every day. thanks Tony for your effort and time
	CLAWTINTHEACT says: 12/13/2013 8:30:43 AM Great to have found the group. I've been having way too much fun with my GT Maple Mountain Longneck. I've been playing out of an open Double A tuning and capoing any key. This has been a big help since I play at a Saturday morning open-jam at a local Farmers Market where the keys can change with every song and style. I'm enjoying working the I, IV, & V chords up the neck along with Chromatic Chord Scale to include the minor II, III, VI, and diminished VII chords. Sugar Hill with open double-A and A out of an open G tuning with two clawhammer banjos and rest of the group is a hard driving blast! And I've charted the major and minor pentatonic scales for improvising and back-up. My problem is that I have to include open-G tuning in my practice so I don't forget how to play it. If anyone is interested in my home-made chord and scale charts I could scan them (if your not in a hurry with the Holiday season activities and all).

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 11 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
