About backporchbanjo

I first started playing in the late 1960's in folk clubs & a nice little string band. In the mid 70's my banjo got stolen and I stopped playing for about 25 years. Then in 2006 I got a new banjo and started over again. Here in Australia oldtime players are few & far between so youtube is a good way to meet up and share the passion with others. Comments & emails welcome.
