Pardon the Firesign Theatre reference, but I need to be 2 places at once at Banjo Camp, on Saturday at 2PM. I can't decide between Ken Perlman's session on "Old Time Banjo Ergonomics", or Paul Brown's "Playing Old Time Banjo in a Square/Contra Dance Band." I'm leaning toward Ken's class, because he's just an amazing teacher.

	Tackhead says: 2/21/2011 5:50:32 AM I feel you pain. This happens to me every camp. Although, it's usually three or four places at once. I'd go with Paul Brown. The guy is one of the best instructors I've ever had, anywhere, any time, any subject. But that's just me. One possible solution is find someone who's going to Paul's session and who's going to record it. ~John

	blanham says: 2/23/2011 6:51:48 PM Yes, their albums were very funny! Some of us were also into the Marx Brothers movies way back then, and I doubt many people today would watch a black and white movie. I think I'm going in reverse with technology, because I've been listening to a lot of Dust to Digital 78's on Country Classics.

	blanham says: 3/11/2011 9:32:57 AM majikgator, playing the banjo anywhere is high on my list, even at a dance :-) But anyway, I'll probably go for Ken's class, because it would be great to learn to play more relaxed.
