Me and a childhood friend, sitting in the bedroom floor with a cassette recorder between us, circa 1977. I am thankful that he held on to this and other recordings from our childhood, let alone went to the trouble to digitize them.

I posted another Tommy Jackson tune unknowingly the other day..."Snowflake Reel". JanetB was kind enough to give me some background on the tune and add a very nice clawhammer arrangement. This led to us trading messages about a collaberation of another Jackson tune. It was a bit different for us both. Not too bad for a first time collab...she plays the cello banjo and gracefully states the melody and I come in later like an overexcited 2nd time beginner ('cause it's what I am!) and barrel through the changes again with Janet's accompaniment. My ending is a little exaggerated, but it was good fun, and I hope to do another soon. Thanks Janet for your nice playing and your use of the garage band software.

A little over a month in as a second time beginner, with now a "playable" banjo. Attempting to play some Jimmy Arnold stuff...no metronome or backing track, just went for it in the bedroom with a Tascam DP-006. After a 35 year hiatus and a nerve damaged left hand, I hope y'all enjoy. BTW, "Doc Harris' Hornpipe is a hybrid of JA and a Larry McNeely vid off of YouTube.

Second attempt at posting some stuff. Still trying to (re)get the hang of picks, recorder, etc. After listening to this and the last one, I downgraded myself from purty good to novice. But I have to say, I'm having a blast making music for the 1st time in many years. There are some "ouch" moments in these recordings, but I left them as a gauge to check my progress down the road. As a sidenote, I just noticed many head strikes with the thumb pick. Sandpaper, or try to adjust my wrist angle? Anyway, enjoy, and feel free to add constructive criticism.

Me and a buddy, both about age 14. A Madiera banjo, a Hondo guitar, and a cheap cassette recorder. Priceless memories.
