Nice to have you reading the blog. Believe it or not, this blog series is from Christmas 2010…it's over a year old now! Sadly I let the blog go through most of 2011 and didn't post very many articles, so the 2010 Christmas stuff is still visible and hasn't been shuffled very far down the list. Needless to say, a year later I don't have any of these apps available still. Sorry about that! Hope you'll keep an eye on the website though, because I'm in the middle of redesigning everything. Once I launch the redesign I'll be blogging again. Hope you'll comment on more blog posts! Thanks Tom. Banjo Paul Hey Tom,

I just bought a Gold Tone CC50 for myself for Christmas and I'm starting on Scruggs style playing. I just found this site and I have to say it's awesome how involved the banjo community seems to be on the web. Thanks for the great website.!

Everything I've seen here so far is great quality, very encouraging, and truly inspires me. To me, it seems like the banjo world can only benefit from Banjos Rule!

It's really gratifying that people like you will share your experiences. I don't know how new to my website you are, but if you have been looking awhile you know I haven't posted in ages. That'll hopefully be changing soon. But back to your comments, it sounds like you are on the road to a healthy attitude towards your banjo playing and towards your job as a banjo ambassador. I'm proud to welcome you into the club and I hope to hear from you again! Take care and as I always say: pick 'em if ya got 'em! Banjo Paul Hey Lauren,

Back in February when you wrote this, I had never even held a banjo at all -- but when I signed up for a workshop in NC on a whim, I fell in love -- didn't see that coming! I really enjoyed this article, chuckled at several points through it -- and thank you for writing it. My husband began to badger me to play as soon as I returned to MI from my trip (when I bought the banjo). I knew I wasn't ready then, ha! I've been asked a few times since, but more along the lines of "oh, you'll have to play for us sometime!" Since I've not yet had my banjo with me at any of these moments, I didn't have to truly worry. But this article has given me good food for thought -- and I think you are right. Most folks just want to hear a little -- even if they aren't true fans, a banjo makes people smile. I figure I'll start out playing for my grandsons -- a very uncritical audience, to be sure, but good practice still. My instructor even helped out by writing up a banjo solo piece for 'Old MacDonald'. So, ahem, I think my debut will be comin' up here soon! I just found this website.
