I am 58 years old, married to my dear wife Gabi (Luna).
Have 3 children (all grown up).
I was always with the 5-string banjo fascinated and learned in Dortmund know someone, in the basement of a 5-string banjo stand.
I was thrilled. When I asked if he could show me what he said ...:
"Here take it, and learn... maybe you have fun with it..."
That was 1985. Then I played in various country and bluegrass bands.
For 10 years, I play in no band anymore. A pity. But bluegrass musicians are rather rare in the Rhineland to find. If they do, they play in a band with a solid cast.
That is why I play only occasionally for fun. I have learnt everything myself ... Learning by doing ... Peter Wernick, thanks ... That was my first and last" Banjo Book ".
I play everything by feel, I am not as a super picker ... Have never learned Tablatures ... ChromaticStyle and other thinks ...
It is missing a few sounds, because I am a deaf ear ...
My favorite hobby is the Blue Grass Music ... I hear they sort of like ...
pls. excuse my english...
