<p>Well Sir I was doing that back burner thing too.</p>
<p>I look forward to becoming able to play this style.</p>
<p>I love telling Bluegrass players..."This Music was a couple of hundred years old</p>
<p>before bluegrass was even Born!</p>
<p>Now Clawhammer is a favorite of mine too!!</p>

<p>i just ordered mine today. Really looking forward to it. Kind of put the early banjo stuff on the back burner for a bit, as I was focusing on clawhammer and fiddle, but this might be a game changer. </p>

<p>Wed. 1/23/13 Progress report.</p>
<p> I am doing fairly well with the book. One thing I'm struggling with is the movement called the "triple" A the bottom of the page of Rice Movements. (<strong>Note to Tim:</strong> page numbers would be helpful) The triple is going to take some practice. I am enjoying the learning process. In another banjo world I was avoiding the "drop thumbing" technique because it was presented by players and instructors as something difficult and best avoided.…</p>

<p> I am doing fairly well with the book. One thing I'm struggling with is the movement called the "triple" A the bottom of the page of Rice Movements. (<strong>Note to Tim:</strong> page numbers would be helpful) The triple is going to take some practice. I am enjoying the learning process. In another banjo world I was avoiding the "drop thumbing" technique because it was presented by players and instructors as something difficult and best avoided. But in this banjo world of Early Banjo, it is simply a part of the movements used to play the banjo. It is not intimidating in the least when it isn't presented as some esoteric thing. I'm giving "Juba" a go and will keep things moving along.</p>

<p>Good Day to all</p>
