I checked out some books of clawhammer tablature from the city library. I have been really enjoying one by Dan Levinson called Old time festival tunes. Prior to now, I have always had no success with tablature. I would just get all stuck and not be able to do anything trying to connect what my eyes were reading with what I want my fingers to do. I'm having a much easier time of it now. As a result I am learning some new songs, new techniques and a way of being very particular about what note I am playing. It seems these subtleties expressed in the tablature make the difference between just playing a chord pattern that is common to many songs or playing a particular song. The songs are beautiful too. Thanks Dan!

worked in a feed store, saw an add in the library for a guy making banjos, asked him to make one for me. got the mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, hand made tonering. very cool, learned cripple creek and old joe clark. started playing guitar. always return to the banjo - my good companion. I frail and finger pick. am trying to get good at up the neck stuff. Severa years ago, I made several canjos- tin can banjos and sold them at craft fairs. Some people just get all charged up about them. I also have made a canulele and lapjo.
