I'm Dave Douglass, old-time banjo nutcase. Like lots of other banjo enthusiasts, I was inspired back in the early 60's by the Kingston Trio and Pete Seeger. I bought myself a Gibson long neck 5-stringer and it was my main player until ྚ when I had Bart Reiter put one of his fine necks on a བ Tubaphone pot and it continues to be my main player. I also have a few other banjos including an old Fairbanks fretless that's fun to slide around on. I seem to be stuck playing clawhammer style and a little old-time finger picking styles. I never seem to get tired of it. My second favorite thing to do is to sit, knee to knee with a fiddler and render out fiddle tunes, just banjo and fiddle.
