"The Buckley is rare. Joe Ewers has one I believe. "

"I hope you get a lot of bidders, Tim. I don't think I'm ready to get rid of my copy (or the rest of the Converse books I have). In cleaning out my music room to move it, I found an original copy of Buckley's 1860 that I forgot I had.…"

"The only tab I know of beyond piecemeal transcriptions, is the Weidlich book."

"What I forgot to add...with/in tab. I have the ones that are available at archive.org. "

"Very lucky you!  I recently purchased your “Buckley’s Banjo Guide of 1868” book. Are there complete digital versions of these books?"

"Good choice. Think of "Buckley's Jig" as you approach it"

"Emily Converse gave it to me a few years ago. "

"Let's roll with Lazy Joe (Buckley 1868, p53 in Tim's Buckley's Guide for the Banjo). Looks deceptively "easy", with some 2d string 3d fret hiccups and a couple speed bumps up the neck at 5th & 7th frets..."

"Can't recall if I knew you had this.  How did YOU get it...Ebay?"

"Hmmmmmmmm"

"These are all great. You gotta pick it tho haha"

"That Jamaican goat skin "

"There's plenty I don't know, so I'm sure i can find something..."

"Well... this was fun!  So who’s up for the week of 18 nov. And what’ll it be?"

"Deering Goodtime Americana (12" renaissance head)"

"What kind of banjo are you playing? It looks similar to the Deering banjo I have."
