  11. Re: Banjo teaching DVD's, whats your favorites (any style)

    I think I would definitely benefit from instructional DVDs. My problem these days is that I no longer have a DVD player! I'll have to see about downloadable versions of some of these.

    Re: Got 9 minutes?

    Got a copy of Banjo Crackerjax 1922-1930 the other day. Popped it in the player in my car on a drive this morning. Just dynamite stuff.
