In Reply to: Nothing to do with tractors but i have questions about banjo posted by Caleb in pa on February 22, 2008 at 09:50:51:

Caleb:
Buying a banjo for $150 to #300 will frustrate you more then paying a thousand dollars, more or less, for a really great one!
Please access this address:
That is my email address, and i can send you much info about lessons, and web-sites, music, all kinds of helpful ideas about 5-string banjo pickin'.
We have a Bluegrass club in Yahoo, and we all access it every day. There are many sites where you can find out anything you want to know.
That site is: WPBGC@yahoo.com
It is the address for the:"Western Pennsylvania Blue Grass Club"
As for learning to play "Duelling Banjos"--Don't waste yer time on it! I don't think i have heard it played at all by anybody above the "Rank Amateur" level!
As for buying a banjo, try a Gold Tone, 5-string flattop style, bluegrass type. And don't buy their cheapest one-go for a better one.
You'll need a battery powered tuner, a set of picks and some spares, a capo for playing in some other key except "G", and a fifth-string capo, too. Also there are lots of books out there with bluegrass songs in them, along with words and suggested keys to play the songs in.
Now, there is one word of warning to all this:
IF, and i really mean IF; you can hum, whistle keep time to music, whistle, or do some simging along with records or the TV or radio, then go with your plans.
BUT!!
IF you can't do any of those things--then don't bother spending your money on a banjo, because you must have musical feelings to learn music and play any musical instrument.
Some young fellers and girls, when they find they can't learn an instrument, they get their parents to buy them a big new electric guitar and an amplifier, and a microphone, because they think that will cure the problem! Which it won't! It only shows how dumb they were for thinking electricity will make their kid into a stage ready musician!
Motto: Ya got to have it to learn it, and really be good to amplify it!
Write me!

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
