I've been knocking out a daily podcast for the past couple of weeks to
help my students start singing and playing. In one of the workshops,
just for the heck of it, I went through a frailing banjo rendition of
Minglewood Blues.

It's not the fingerstyle playing like Gus Cannon used to do (Gus was
pretty cool on the blues banjo stuff), but the workshop might help any
frailers out there looking to add some funk to the bump dit-ty strum.
