Hi Carl,

I'm glad you joined. It would feel like we had a hole in the group without you.

Glad to see you here, Carl. Damn the torpedoes!

Elaine and I love the picture!

That was a 1943 Navy SNJ-4 that I got to fly for my birthday a couple of years ago. Great flying airplane!

Carl, i was admiring your video of Money am a Hard Thing to Borrow. I was just wondering where you would be able to find a tab for a song like that ? Thank you!

Cuffie is really smokin' on them bones.

Hi! Thank you so much for the nice welcome -- am still trying to figure out this e-mail-group-on-steroids thing, but the interaction is AWESOME! Take care, Aurelia

Thank you!

Thank you Carl, I've been lurking for a while. Unfortunately to many committments that steal away from my research time. Hope all are well.

Hey Carl..I don't play banjo but I have a few friends that do. I want to say that playing with you and all the folks that weekend was one of my favorite jams. I thank you so much for the kind words about my tambo skills, and same back at ya. The Shakers are doing well recording live stuff now. Since the loss of our master jawbone astroudinair, who sits along side of Elvis now to educate him about da roots, I have taken on da study ob de jaw bone, and ams hbbin fun wid hit. Any time you guys are in the Gettysburg area look us up. Your pard King

No, I'm sorry, I'll start putting my name on my posts.

This is Greg Starbuck

That's true! But I'm still around. I'm recording a CD next week for a French record company, Alpha, of 17th-century Scottish guitar music. So, my head is burried in that mostly.

Thanks for remembering me!

Hey Carl! Happy New Year! December was so crazy I didn't realize all the action had slipped over to here - good to be back. I settled right in last night to watch that great video you put up - the visit with George W. Thanks!!

You are right, Carl. I did join before. Obviously, I should have checked. See what you have to look forward to?

Carl - thanks for the comment. Lots of stumpies and rumpies here - we've recently moved to the island from England. Great place, but I think I'm the only banjo player.

Thanks for the welcome, Carl. Spent part of today looking through the forum topics. Some quite interesting. Still curious where to buy gut strings and which sizes...at least one site in colorado had LOTS of options! After I've spent more time here I'll feel more comfortable posting! Thanks for suggesting that I should be a member here. One of these days I'll post pics of that Brawly instrument.

Yes, it was a very good jam. Ive started trying to learn some minstrel tunes myself and am slowly going through Joseph Weidlich's "Early Minstrel Banjo" book. Seems to have a lot of tunes in it. Are they hosting the EBG again in Antietam this year? If so, I will definitely be there. Early banjo has become more a priority in my life recently. Good to see you still around and playing music!!

OK, Carl. I have to know. Who made your hat?

Thanks, Carl. I wear an original 1850s tophat but it's faux beaver over paper mache. I live in fear that I'll get caught in the rain with it sometime. It would sure make a good, mis-shapen minstrel show topper after it melts in the rain!
