I finally put together a book for Stroke / Early banjo. I'm not saying I reinvented the wheel or anything, but it is a tight little book....25 pages, and it includes a CD with demonstrations and tunes. It has complete instructions for setting up, getting started, and playing music. It has a new improved Rosetta conversion page. The tunes are playable in tab AND notation, and it opens the door for further exploration by looking at Briggs', Rice, Buckley, and Converse.
I will send, at no charge, a book and a CD pack to the first 2 folks that contact me that would like it....hopefully a beginner, or near beginner.

Oh yea, with the idea of course, that perhaps you would use it and review it.
Congrats on the new endeavor Tim! How similar is it to the Harpers Ferry book?
