I've been studying Piedmont blues and have to decided to pick up the banjo as well - specifically clawhammer style banjo playing.

It's going to be awesome.

BigDun

I learned a little banjo when I was a teen. As much as you can from a Mel Bay beginning banjo book and five hours of messing around at least.

It was pretty fun. And hard.

I've always wanted to play the banjo. Like Steve Martin.
11:42:24 [Gamplayerx] I keep getting knocked up.
11:42:28 [Gamplayerx] Er. OUT!

as a one time mandolin player, I salute you.  One day we will meet again and form our bluegrass band

My brother-in-law has a mandolin. What are the odds that I would know two people who have mandolins?

One of my roomates in College bought a mandolin.  He was then frustrated because I learned the mandolin solo from "Stonehenge" before he did.

Do you know anything about that 4th of July festival?  That looks like it might be something interesting to drag the kid to.

Hmm...$7 to see it at home, or $3.30/gallon to drive to Kansas for a free movie.
