As I'm still learning Shady Grove and have nothing to post 'banjo wise'. Just to show how interaction on the hangout blog can influence habits other than just banjo, I'll take Kate Boadicea's reappearance as a cue to showcase some of what I have been reading since last September or so. I can recommend them all except the Lucy Green book which drags on a bit.

All inspired by Kates promotion of the Practice of Practice book.

Teaching myself clawhammer from a mix of 'Clawhammer From Scratch' and 'Rocket Science Banjo'. Play guitar to a low intermediate level. Have played many instruments to a comfort zone level of just able to play enough to keep myself happy. Determined banjo will be learned more methodically to try and attain a higher level of playing.
