Happy Thanksgiving

From TonyS on 11/22/2014 12:22:27 PM

Work has been a bummer and doing a lot of stuff for veterans but still here and still playing!

Happy Thanksgiving to all here and your families, we'll see what's up in the New Year.

Happy Thanksgiving to all at BHO as well, especially the Long Neck Banjo Group. This is only my first year in BHO and I have enjoyed the brotherhood, wisdom and remarkable insight into the most improbable topics! Thanks, Tony, for administering this special group. Thanks to all who have joined me as friends. I follow all of your links every day. Sadly, Pete Seeger died this year reminding me to be aware of the existing knowledge and skills remaining in BHO. Thanks to those who worked in the trade whose memories answer the many questions of banjo history. Thanks to the craftsmen who continue production of beautiful instruments, accessories and components of banjos. To me, the banjo is the most adjustable instrument ever . . . but what to do? Only through this website, can a player acquire a lifetime of knowledge from so many! You have made my retirement, surrounded by my acoustic instruments, most enjoyable.
Happy Thanksgiving and many more!

Happy Thanksgiving! It's time to listen to Arlo's Alice's Restaurant.

I've enjoyed my time on BHO. I learned a few tunes "bluegrass style" back in the 70's but was always mostly a guitar player... I played professionally for many years. The last couple of years I've really focused on Clawgrass style and just recently started messing around with the longneck.. I really enjoy it. I'm very thankful to all the BHO family for the willingness to share, comment, teach advise and even at times critique a bit when asked! What a wonderful thing to be part of! Blessings to you all and may you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Apparently if you're not paying close attention you can be double thankful and post the same thing twice, lol! I don't see how to delete it so I'll just let it be!

I do "I've just seen a Face" because of Arlo.

Take a look at That's The Ticket Roadhog, by Fred Starner, Banjo Fred on the hangout before he caught the westbound.

I am thankful for that movie and the clip on YOUtube. It's a true story.

Fred was on the Clearwater with Pete, and crew. They swung in the rigging together.

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
