You can never sell Earl! You sound like an interesting person littlebirdie, wish New Mexico were closer as I'd love some banjo lessons. Do you have any recorded work of your playing? You should post.

You know, I have never uploaded any of my music! I write a lot of songs, and have made recordings with my musical partner. We have what we call a cross-time duo. He plays Baroque-era instruments, and I play banjo and African drums for performance. And sing. I love the singing most, I think. We perform songs from the early Renaissance to current faves. Don't make any money with it, just a good way to spend time. I will pick something out to upload. But not that old chestnut from Deliverance! Ha ha.

I am totally available for banjo lessons! It's the best instrument in the history of the known universe.

I don't doubt it. Banjo players always seem like fun people.

Ha ha! Steve Martin is such an awesome player! He was a banjo player way before he was a comedian, there is a fantastic youtube series with him talking with Tony Trischka - it's banjo-informative, funny as hell, and wonderful on too many levels to count. I saw him perform here in ABQ this past year when he was on tour. Worth every saved-up coffee shop penny.
