Hi all. For the last few months I have been concentrating on other stuff and haven't really moved forward on my banjo with respect to new stuff. I have been playing a bit, but just for enjoyment running through stuff I already know.

Now I've got the bug back. Using Brad Leftwich's Roundpeak book I learned 'Sourwood Mountain' last week, and am now going through Fred Cockerham's version of 'Pretty Polly'. I've also signed up for instructor Tom Collins Patreon and it's straight into a tune, Kyle Creed's 'Let me Fall' on his site. So hopefully plenty to post about in the near future.

Usually we go away in the summer and I get a break then but this year since we are. not going anywhere I'm just letting myself have a bit of a rest. Play every couple of days but just not daily.
