Beginning Banjo

Thursday, November 6, 2008

So, another blog to keep track of.  But this looks like fun, and maybe I'll learn something along the way.

Picked up a banjo last night.  A vintage Silvertone.  I had an Ecko banjo years ago, but didn't have the discipline to take the time to learn how to play it.  Now that I've been playing guitar and bass for a few years, its time to start on the banjo.

If anybody knows how to date the old Silvertones, pass the info along.  I know generally about them, so this one is at least 36 years old.  From the looks of it, I would say sometime in the 50s or 60s.  But what do I know?  It will be fun to learn on.

So here I can document my banjo adventures.  I'm looking forward to the experience.

I play bagpipes for the Baltimore City Pipe Band, and fingerstyle guitar for my own enjoyment. I've always wanted to learn to play banjo, now is the time to start.
