Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

The semi-famous classic. This is my first attempt with a fiddle. It could be worse, I suppose!

Strumelia, that's Leroy Troy spinning his banjo in the video you linked to. He's a hoot, and about as nice a person as you'll ever meet. I've been on stage with him...and I've had him show me the basics of his technique. I still can't do it. It is really all about misdirection, he is indeed strumming (or picking single strings) with his left hand as the damn thing is flying around.

He learned from a man (can't think of his name) that learned directly from Uncle Dave. Don't hesitate to see him live...he's pure entertainment!
