Yellow Converse Book of 1865 A very difficult book to maneuver because of its size and overkill with directions. If you can sort them out, there are so many solid Stroke tunes in here...it is a must to check them out.      Play all 30 videos Play all(30)
Buckley 1868 A continuation of the 1860 book, this publication is strong with some fabulous pieces, written for ( but never fingered as such ) Stroke and Fingerstyle Banjo playing.      Play all 97 videos Play all(97)
Converse Analytical of 1886 Possibly the greatest single book written in the 19th Century. Written in 1886 and added to in 1887, Frank B. Converse gives us an Eagle's Eye view of late Stroke Style and early Classic banjo. He gives clear definition to the concept of "Combinations" referred to earlier by Rice as "Strikes".      Play all 86 videos Play all(86)
Instructional These videos are for Stroke Style instruction. Most of the material is directly taken from the 19th Century texts, and simply restated and illustrated with playing examples.      Play all 15 videos Play all(15)
Original Music These are all pieces I have written, attempting to stay consistent with 19th Century banjo stylings.      Play all 29 videos Play all(29)
Fiddle Tunes Pieces lifted directly from 19th Century fiddle sources. Sources include Ryan's Mammoth Collection, Howe's Omnibus, Kerr's, and Coe's Collections. These are interesting because much of the more advanced early banjo repertoire borrowed heavily from this material, often by directly lifting the tune and changing the title. Fiddle music, by and large, will adapt most directly to Early Minstrel Banjo.      Play all 75 videos Play all(75)
