Thread Name: Learning the Banjo From Pete Seeger
Subject: RE: Learning the Banjo From Pete Seeger
Hey guys & gals, Just happened into the mudcat and saw this thread on Pete Seegar started by little neo. By the way Neo, thanks. I have been attempting to play the 5 string for about a year and a half. Down here in Miami, Banjo is not the instrument of record. Its also hard to find an individual who can play one and harder to find a teacher for it. I found a Jazz Guitarist who knows a bit about it and I have been making some headway. I can play a few things. But just as soon as I get off this thing I am going to find that book and if possible a tape and video. I think Pete and I are going to become real old friends. AT the age of 68 (chronologically only) I think I'm going to have some fun. If anyone knows of a banjo teacher in the Miami area email me at danhealy@prodigy.net. I would appreciate it.
