Hi Paul,
Seeing you were from NE Ohio I figured I'd say hello. Just curious, do you play in a band? We're looking for another banjo player in our period sting/minstrel group...

Regards,
Erick

We're relatively new as a trio. I primarily play parlor guitar (and a budding banjo player), we have a great fiddle player (also plays banjo), and singer who will play tambo/washboard at times. We're looking for someone to play full time banjo while our fiddle player and I focus on our primary instruments. We've played out at one living history so far. We cover quite a few Foster & Emmett tunes as well as play popular music from 1850-1870's including some Irish reels & Jigs. If this sounds up your alley, we could meet and discuss over coffee or invite you over for the nect practice...

Instruments are not an issue. We have two period reproductions you can play if interested, both are Boucher style fretless with tension pots. While learning the group's repetoire you can even play your 1890...

Sounds good I'll stay in touch
