[Tim Twiss]

You're in...you're out...you're in...you're out.

Welcome mat is always there.

[Steve Jeter]

thanks Tim, I wish I was a more stable person,  but Ive given up getting aggravated with myself for being this way,,,,, and  now just trying to roll with my weird flow,  thanks for the message,

 

[Tim Twiss]

shhhh.....nobody here is stable. That is why we do this.

Steve--I have a theory that everybody has a smart brain and a dumb brain.  In general the smart brain keeps us out of trouble and the dumb brain has all the fun.  I think the reason i like playing the banjo so much is that relative to something like, for instance, classical/flamenco guitar, the banjo requires very little smart brain.  I know you'll be back.  Have fun and Ole'!--Rob

Life happens, don't worry about it.  We all develop  new interests, come back to old ones, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow.  I've been away for a couple of months taking care of some family business, with no banjo and no internet (unless you want to call a dial-up connection at 12000 bits/second a connection).   So for me it's nice to be back.

You just have to follow your own path and see where it takes you.  Hey, maybe you'll develop some  flamenco banjo skills or figure out how to play a stroke style minstrel guitar.

Steve,

Why not put up a flamenco video. In my mind, Spanish/Portuguese music may be closer kin to early banjo music than we know. Not only the Latin influence on the banjo's physical development in the Caribbean (flat fingerboard, tuning pegs etc.) but also the similar development of Spanish music as influenced by the music of North Africa.

I hear once you have the banjo bug you always have the Banjo bug...Lately I been focusing on the Dobro, but keep learning tunes on my banjo,, then back to the fiddle, Dulcimer, and the banjo...it's a revolving cornucopia of musical endeavors...never ending. So hey why not post a video of your Flamenco adventures. Sounds fun Steve!

[Bell Banjos]

Many people who buy my banjos are blues guitar players. About half of the folks have never played an instrument at all. And of course, many clawhammer players looking for that THING, which, as we know, is stroke style.

[Steve Jeter]

thanks for the encouragement guys, Ill try to post one, Ive played around with it before, with limited success, its fun though,    I really appreciate yall.

Steve

I always have too many irons in the fire, and winter often seems to be when my banjos hang on the wall untouched for weeks or months at a time.  Then something gets under my skin and I'm all banjo, all the time again.  I've learned not to feel guilty about it, because for me this is supposed to be for fun.
