I know, I know 2 non-bluegrass submissions in a row but these are ones Daniel can’t/won’t play with me and he went back to work so now was my chance! :rofl:

@banjoboyk,

Way to represent - solo!

Nicely done. I was trying to play this just today… At about 1/2 the speed and 1/2 the notes. :pensive:

Great picking, I love playing that song on the piano, it’s probably time for me to learn it on banjo.

This just confirms my notion, there IS common ground between Banjo and Ragtime. They just feel like American Cousins - in a musical sense.

Great job!

Not to take away from @banjoboyk’s solo performance (Kaleb already knows I’m a fan anyway) but wow… it would be so cool to see a whole accoustic instrument band do more of this style. I like Ragtime so much.

@WillCoop I really love ragtime music and played it on the piano (@D_HRRFan7303) before deciding I wanted to learn it on banjo. I searched and searched until I found Bill Knopf’s website and he sells a Scott Joplin tab book and CD (sold separately). I had the Janet Davis book before that but all it had was the Entertainer and I wanted more. Will, you’ll get it. It just takes practice😉and you are doing that. Thanks Archie and Gunnar! Oh also I have the Entertainer on YouTube with my dad and Daniel. It’s a concert and kind of a lousy recording because there was feedback but you might like it.
