Hello right back there Tim. Thanks for the warm welcome to Minstrel Banjo Forum. I'm not new to the idea of playing the banjo, that's been with me for 25 years, but I am new to actually playing one. I enjoy all types of Banjo playing and will be please to get to know the folk on this forum and hear some of their playing.

So Tim--what happened to your reply to "Tom Brigg's last moments"?

That's strange -- but at least the RSS thing worked for me too.

You new discussion doesn't show up in the "forum" either, I can only get there by clicking on the "Tim started a new discussion" link.

I wonder if Ning is having some function issues...

Very Strange, if you go to forum and sort by newest discussions it shows up, but not sorting by latest activity. In fact, the number of discussions is different depending on how you sort. This looks like a software bug. I'll notify ning.

I made a change to the way discussions are listed. Hopefully this will help.

Hey Tim,

I realize that was probably an automatic response welcome, but thank you none de less

Thanks, Tim. It was getting somewhat lonely at the Google Minstrel Banjo Group. Carl's recent message there got me to sign up here. It's good to be more in the early banjo loop. - Mike

Tim,

The multimedia experience here reminds me somewhat of your Banjo Clubhouse website, which is a great resource. It'll be interesting to see how this network approach at ning.com will develop.

Trying to get a feel for the site, a lot to navigate.

A buddy of mine has an original Boucher, and I took pictures to build a copy it, and posted them here.

Just befriending the guys I know, from AEBG or the old forum -- we haven't actually met, but I heard you play at AEBG1 (I only attended the concert).

Tim,thanks for your comment on my versions of Harper's Jig and Old King Crow.You commented on my right hand.I actually owe that to you and and Tom briggs's banjo instructer of 1855.I read the technique on your Banjo Clubhouse site and watched your instructional video to learn how to play.I also printed out the movements TAB sheet you have posted there.I still have a ways to go though.Like I said before,you,Carl,and Greg were my inspirations to learning.

Tim,

For a while I have been interested in learning "My Long Tail Blue" and I just noticed that you recorded it for Youtube a while back. What version were you using for that? The only version I have seen for banjo is in the Gumbo Chaff tutor, but since I don't read music all that well, especially in that tuning, I'm having trouble figuring it out. If it weren't for your banjo Rosetta Staff that you put online, I wouldn't be able to figure out anything at all! Perhaps you should update it for the Gumbo Chaff tuning and post it here!

If I get it figured out, I just might have the guts to record it and post it here!

--Brian
