That’s basically a fancy way of saying we have to either agree or keep our mouth shut.
I don’t think that’s what Banjo Ben wants. In that video I said that I like the pick, but wouldn’t personally spend $40 on it. That’s not tearing it down or anything.

Well actually if you don’t agree there’s nothing wrong with keeping your mouth shut. That’s most of the reason I don’t answer you on here. It’s called respect - and recognizing that I still have so much to learn and don’t want to come across sounding arrogant.

Yeah, I get that. I just don’t feel like I need to be afraid to give my opinions on something if people are gonna disagree. I do understand that it can kinda leave the debate category and turn into a disrespectful argument, so that makes sense. But that only happens when Michael gets involved.

Michael probably states his feelings more than the rest of us do. I keep mine a little quieter usually 
and I don’t always agree with him either - far from it 
Anyway we are playing 5 sets at a bluegrass festival this weekend, starting with 2 tonight, so gotta go! I’m so excited! Might be a little tired out by the end of this weekend!

I typically recommend starting with the Bluegrass Albums.

You probably won’t like the Tony Rice albums because of the lack of banjo focus…
Aren’t they all bluegrass albums?
Totally agree.
Also very true.
Have fun Libby! You guys are going to do great!
Oh, and I’m out of likes

Just kidding, I know what you meant😂
The Bluegrass Albums, not the bluegrass albums.

How in the world does Mason always keep ending up in the topic of the spiral??? Do we seriously discuss him that much?!

My favorite active bluegrass band is Balsam Range.
Also, check out the Lonesome River Band. The best on the scene in terms of rhythm IMO!
