Im hoping I can get some dialoge with fellow lovers of the min. banjo. Light hearted stuff, where we can share what we are working on, somebody we heard, how to hit certain licks etc.

so question 1 , what you workin on? Im workin on Circus Jig, Johnny Boker, willies on the dark blue sea and a few others.

If nobody responds , I will know nobodys interested in this. Oh well. hoping for the best. Somebody besides me HAS to be excited about this stuff and want to talk about it.

	Steve Jeter says: 4/13/2012 6:22:50 AM Daryl I hope we can just keep this alive. I may be simple , but I enjoy talking about what you are learning & what Im learning, gourd and tackheads etc. any input is great, have you tried Juba yet?
	Grumpy1 says: 4/15/2012 12:47:48 AM Juba? What's a Juba? I've been thinking about making a fretless gourd but negotiating on an A scale open back at the moment, for mellow folkies, so not enough funds to go around. Haven't even tried a minstrel style tune yet. Just love to listen !
	Steve Jeter says: 5/11/2012 7:26:59 AM Grumpy , Im sorry for the long delay in answering ... If you youtube Juba,,, or Giggletoot, who is Tim T. you will find Juba, and , it is a great starting point
	eastside_eddie says: 6/29/2012 10:27:58 AM Hi Steve, I've been learnin' the banjo for a year now. I'm a CW re-enactor and have been working on S. Foster material, etc.. One day I'll get a period Banjo. Do you listen to the Carolina Choc. Drops ? Good stuff there. Eddie
