I'm just loving the two finger (thumb lead) style of playing banjo.

I have not put my Deering Goodtime down and I'm just enjoying myself.

I want to learn more about this style of playing including the history of this particular banjo style.

And of course I want to learn more music.

Please help me and suggest books on Oldtime 2 finger playing.

It would be much appreciated.
