It's not that I don't want to play Guitar anymore - I do - but that the Banjo is so nice that makes me try so hard to make it sound modern.

So thank you Steve for the link - it told me lots of usefull tips but I cannot find one that says 'do this to make your banjo sound less like a mountain yodeler and more like a jungle woodpecker' IOW I am totaly lost on this one.
