Newbie to Minstrey Banjo

[Dan O;Connor]

Hello Everyone,   I am an absolute Beginner to the Minstrel Banjo  Scene. Having just been aquainted with  Bell & Son Banjos, from where I am soon getting a Boucher Minstrel Banjo Kit, which I am looking forward to completing  very much.

    As I said I am an Absolute Beginner, Self Taught.   I have only been playing Banjo for 3 years. Presently I play 2 Finger Mnt Style but am Learning Clawhammer  now and hope to work my way up to the Minstrel Strumming Style. So for now I'll just stay on the sidelines for the most part and Listen & Learn from all of you.

     I am very much interested in the history of the Banjo as i am also a Civil War History buff. Looking forward to meeting new friends here and learning as I go     Thanks,  DanO'
