I didn't know you were a stroke-stylist, too, Eric! If you're half as good as you are with the classic style, then I want some lessons!

Hi Carl !
I love minstrel so much, i'm clawhammer style player but i am beginner in minstrel stroke style, i like the deep sound of minstrel banjos, i'm thinking to make me a Boucher copy. Two years ago i've met the Swedish African banjos specialist Ulf Jagvor, at Banjoree in Hagen Germany where i given classic bjo workshop...fortunately Ulf given me the passion for Minstrel style.

Bonjour, mon ami et bienvenue! It appears that many "classic" players also enjoy the old 'stroke style'. Good to see you here.
