Folks tend to think of the banjo as just able to play fast and happy songs. You, however, show us that it is just as good at playing slow and dark songs.

[@Seeräuberei]

Folks also like to think that you have to play banjo one way only but you can play it however you want just as long as it sounds good.

Oh the purist gatekeeping community despises me. I say let the trolls take them 🌲

@@banjodruid we have a guy like that in our band. He's a good guy but he always says if you're gonna play banjo, you gotta play it "right" or don't play it at all lmao

[@uncommonsensewithpastormar2913]

@@banjodruid Although there are exceptions, I find Bluegrass banjo pretty soulless. Old time, clawhammer has enough soul, but I often hear the same old, traditional songs all the time. Your banjo playing has both soul and novelty/creativity.

@@Seeräuberei As if there was a "right" way to play banjo...

Your music is great for writing and drawing to and has spurred quite a bit of creativity.

This channel has some of my favorite music to write to. It's so evocative of times I've never seen, places I've never been , and a wistful nostalgia I've somehow always had.

I appreciate your saying so my friend!

[@matthewkrumlauf9990]

I love your music and style, if I ever get further along in my own work I will want at least one of your songs involved.
