My Instruments:
I would very much like to learn to play banjo, and maybe the mandolinbanjo and the guitarbanjo attracts me most .I am not sure thoug, because my good friend Pete has a 5 string banjo, he makes som realy good bluegrassmusic and in the sommer of 2008 I hope to jamm with him on my sommerholiday, hopefully in Minnesota where he lives. And he is an inspiration for me, so maybe I com home with a new 5 strings bluegrass.
A 4 string Dixieland banjo sounds nice too, and I like irish music where they use those instruments.Wel, one step at the time, and step one is to actually GET me a banjo so I can start practising......
Favorite Bands/Musicians:
My main instrument is guitar, and Cat Stevens is one of my favorites there.
The Norwegian female banjoplayer Kari Svendsen ..
