<div>This idea hatched because a Lady at church has asked me to come play and speak to her Genealogy Club.</div>
<div><br></br></div>
<div>I'll be taking several instruments that I play , and decided to make the banjo a part of the presentation.</div>

<div>I'm currently working on learning the 5 moves. so far I have been able to learn and practice the half strike , the strike , the strike and a half and the double strike. I'm helped quite a bit by the Harpers Ferry videos. The strike and a half with slurred notes is another story. I'm unable to catch all the detail from the video because it goes by so quickly...I'll try and watch faster. (smile)</div>

<div>Thats all for now</div>
