I was going to make a comment - but just couldnāt find a way to āgo thereā without worry of having a flag registeredā¦ haha.
Iām not so sure we shouldnāt be earning our FLAG Badgeā¦ but yesā¦ agreed!

uhh ohh what have archie set in motion now
are you gonna teach bagpipes
Iāll glad to support you Ben. Donāt like the idea of you out there busking for a living. Girl Scouts beating you up and taking your tips and all.
Wow! Iām really grateful for all of those kind words, Will. Even at 15 months, my boy is already a cool kid. He LOVES music, and I may be imagining it, but he seems to have rhythm. He likes to bounce to music, so Iām hoping I have a little musician on my hands.
Iām digging your get together idea. Kinda reminds me of the old Saturn car homecomings that company used to have with all of their Saturn owners. Only ours will be louderā¦ and funner.
Wildwood Flower seems a popular tune to bounce along to.
Hey, I know both of those tunes. Iāll have to try 'em out.
You can add a little bounce to your pickin too
Hilarious! Your a brave man to wear a kilt on the internet.
The fact that Iāve never been satisfied with just listening to music. I have always imagined myself playing the stuff I listen to. In my teenage years I was addicted to Jimi Hendrix, not because the music was popular, but because his music was different. To me his music took more talent to learn than a lot of other stuff I could have chose to try and learn. Bluegrass is a lot like that to me, it is different and difficult therefore I like it
Like this?
Thatās proof you can find anything on the internet! So In summary Banjo Ben and Jimi Hendrix keep me going:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
FUN! As long as itās fun and Iām luv in it Iāll keep Pickān & Grinnān. And I donāt see that changing.
Knowing that your banjo audio has been deleted from the āVideo Swapā (even though it probly shouldnāt have been there anyway). Alāya (jackpine savage slang for yāall) canāt get rid of me that easy!
Did yāall pick up on the Smoke On the Water riff at 1:57?
Some nice pickinā in spots.
I reminds me of one of my EYBM (Expand Your Banjo Mind) topics of non-traditional songs that we would like to hear in a Banjo coverā¦
Cool Shareā¦
A few years back I had the honor of attending a banjo clinic featuring Allan Munde and Bill Evans. During an intermission (can"t say ābreakā lol) I played some of @BanjoBen s Allan Munde version of āRedwingā. Allan was looking at his phone and when I got a ways into the song he looked up from his phone and when I finished he smiled and said āthat was purty goodāā¦ We talked a little about @BanjoBen and the website and there was no doubt about the bond these guys share. My biggest motivation for playing is that smile that is as clear today as it was back then
I really like this story! Thanks for sharing Doug!
Thatās definitely an accomplishment!
I think I played the first break well enough that he recognized his arrangement. Thinking back, he may have made a friendly type grimace when I crashed on the up the neck break.
