When people from Australia or Japan or Italy say, 'Oh, I love the blues,' they're not talking about the Southwest blues styles, the Georgia 12-string players, ragtime Piedmont styles or whatever. It's the Delta blues. If you say, 'Who do you like?' they'll name Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Son House - Dick Waterman, to Francis Davis, quoted in Davis' book

Banjo Blues
« on: December 27, 2021, 10:32:02 AM »
Arthritis and old injuries have jacked up my hand. So, I have been working on more blues stuff with the five-string banjo. Just thought I would share a couple of examples to see if there are any other banjo pickers around here.

I have to admit, I am somewhat shocked at how easily bottleneck works with frailing banjo. I have a solid-body electric banjo in the works, so pray for my neighbors.

Hi Patrick, Welcome to Weenie Campbell.

I'm no expert on banjo but it sounds good to me. The YouTube links don't work, at least where I live.
