TopcatBanjo	I play the banjo and I am proud of it (123* d)	RE: I play the banjo and I am proud of it	13 Oct 09
My name is TopCat and I play the banjo! Having taken up the 5-string 18 months ago, as I hit middle age, I absolutely love it and it has opened up a whole new world for me - in my case listening to and playing bluegrass music. I want to learn clawhammer/old-time style once I have the picking down a bit better, and in the future I may even tackle Irish tenor playing. No videos of me as yet, but here are just a few of my favourite 5-string pickers, I hope you enjoy them: The fabulous Ron Block. You may have seen/heard him with Alison Krauss but this clip shows off his banjo playing a little closer. My tutor at Sore Fingers bluegrass camp this year. A scholar and a gentleman! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaXqrnoRG0Y Tony Trischka, with a fun Beatles arrangement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i0lFJWaHWg Jens Kruger, Swiss-born maker of some of the most exquisite live music I have ever heard! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5qHkxnLtiw Jim Mills (can't find a good enough "proper" video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFus3OaVtGE
