Hmm. Always been kind of a misfit. Got the beginner's DVD yesterday, and can pretty much play "Banjo in the Holler" already. It ain't perfect, it ain't fast, but it is more than recognizable. Figure I will play this for about a week before moving on to the next song. I wanted to say thanks to Augie as well as others who recommended this. And a special thanks to Murphy Henry, for making these in the first place, and speaking with almost the same accent as I have. Felt like someone I ought to know was talking when the DVD started!
