Thanks for the great info Steve! I'llmake note of the website, etc. And when I can talk my Dad into parting with the banjo (not that he plays it) I will then start on another of my many goals in life.I don't play guitar. Dabbled a bit with my Dad's Baritone Uke...but have always wanted to learn the banjo properly (Dad used to cheat and remove the 5th string and tune the banjo like the Uke. So I recall.)
Ah, thanks for the second warning...I'll be sure to wear my armour when playing around anyone in the beginning. LOL
All the best,
Mary
