I've been playing traditional jazz music (dixieland) on plectrum banjo for many years. After hearing Earl Scruggs and Friends at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in 2004, I've been inspired to learn the 5 string bluegrass style. I am interested in all styles of banjo playing and eventually would like to purchase a tenor banjo.
