Forum Post: (untitled) Linked by ramjo 15 years ago: Not exactly sure what's the "new approach"--3finger banjo with DADGAD guitar?--but I'm bowled over by Jayme Stone's playing and this group of musicians. Watch their other tubes up there after this one
	The Fox - Marc Nerenberg Linked by Marc Nerenberg 15 years ago: I used to play this on a long neck, capoed at the 9th fret. I'm enjoying playing it without a capo on this teeny tiny banjo. Doing a "kid's song" for an audience of adults is always a fun challenge.

Forum Post: (untitled) Linked by ramjo 15 years ago: Ryan Cavanaugh: a great explorer, as his take on this Miles Davis classic demonstrates in spades. Some interesting thoughts about what makes his playing unique in this thread.
	STEALIN', STEALIN' - Live - MARC NERENBERG Linked by Marc Nerenberg 15 years ago: A Memphis Jug Band song from the 20's. Recorded at Montreal's Yellow Door Coffeehouse, at the weekly Open Stage, which I host, with a couple of talented young people who'd never heard the song before.
