Chris Stern - Scarlet Town -You are never too old to learn a new instrument.

After many years playing guitar and having owned this banjo for several years I decided to prove to myself I could learn to get a sound out of the thing. I found Dobro33H (Patrick) and his great frailing lessons. So this is how far I've got in 6 months or so. As far as I know the song is traditional and may have been Charleston Town at one time. Derek Brimstone was the first person I heard do it I think.The rest of it I made up as I went along.

Pretty good playing. Of course, I love your singing. Time to drag the banjo out and see if I can play it. ;>) Hope to see you in June.

Well done, Chris. Your sincerity for all music reflects well on you as an individual, as well as a musician.

Thank you.

You know how many old songs I know...and I have an open back banjo, too. You inspire me.
