Banjo Hangout Member, and RU-vid is the platform for posting vids on that site. Began playing in 2008 (self-taught), had a guitar background (definitely helped)... prefer clawhammer and finger-style along with 2-finger thumb-lead (no metal picks!). I just play by ear, so don't use tablature. Enjoy coming up with my own tunes as well. Own 3 very nice customs by Colin Vance.
All vids (recorded in or around my home in Colorado/Georgia) shot on a Zoom Q3HD vid cam ($199). Thanks for your interest!

Amazing banjo playing. Another topic completely but I see your roof is spray foamed, this is really bad for the timber and I’d recommend removing it. Not sure where you’re based but in Cornwall UK, we’ve had to completely re-roof houses that have had this done as it stops the wood being able to breathe and circulate air effectively. Cheers for the music

Thanks Miles... this is our unfinished room over the garage (new home)... we are almost on the salt-marsh in SE GA... quite hot n' humid, and if you don't have spray foam insulation... you will have much higher energy bills, especially during the warmer months. It is quite desirable in our neck of the woods... never heard of anyone having any roofing issues. Cheers mate!

Everything here is from 10 years ago. Makes me sad. Ran into this only this summer (actually looking for either a karaoke or full instrumental of this particular song by this particular singer). So, 10 years later, I pray you and your band are still in good health, and while it didn't aid my actual search, I'm happy I found this particular tidbit skillfully picking up on this song. Thank you for that!
@KennethWilliamElkington
@KennethWilliamElkington 9 месяцев назад
Well Simon ... much obliged and yep, I am in good health and love playing ... was really into Tara as well as "Donna the Buffalo". Appreciate you taking time to comment... the only "band" I had (except when I played guitar in H.S. - lol) was when I was on Faculty teaching Family Practice Residents Women's Healthcare... and handling a Clinical practice in OB/GYN as well. That was a kick. Thankfully, I retired and... life IS good. Cheers!

@KennethWilliamElkington

Thanks. Tunneled 5th - the tuning peg is at the top of the peg head, just to the left of the Kingfisher inlay. This is one of three Vance custom banjos I own - he is a superb luthier. Cheers!

@KennethWilliamElkington
@KennethWilliamElkington Год назад
Greatly appreciate your thoughtful comment! I tend to have a lot of "tune fragments" in my mind - this tune, just emerged whist "noodlin'" on yon banjo. The nylgut strings give it a bit of the Celtic feel. Onward!
