What Do We Have Here?

This blog has been percolating in my mind for several months now. As the author of The Booze Hounds Inc. Running Team and a gainfully employed magazine editor, I was never sure if I would have enough time for a second blog.

The Glory-Beaming Banjo will be semi-regular blog -- whatever that means -- about banjos and Old Time music. Planned are a series of rotating topics on playing advice, instrument upkeep, banjo builders, musicians, helpful websites, and my personal journey with this so-called "drum on a stick." I hope you'll join me for the ride.

I am far from a banjo expert, but I hope my experiences since I took up the instrument in 2008 will be helpful to new players and that my enthusiasm for the music will spark a dynamic discussion among the readers of this blog. I am in no position to give lessons, but I can point to a number of sources that may be helpful.

As you can see, the sidebars to the left and right are full of items to explore. On the left, you'll see information about me, this blog, and the Mark Twain quote that inspired my title. On the right is a photo of my favorite banjo player (I'll talk about him in a later post), followed by my followers (join up!), a list of fellow bloggers who write about banjos, Old-Time music and related topics, and finally my archives.

If you have any questions about the banjo or Old-Time music, or you want to suggest a topic for me to cover, please don't hesitate to e-mail me. I hope you like what you find here. Cheers!

The Ultimate Banjo Joke Compendium

This post is dedicated to my friend Joel Specht. Ever since the Olitsky & Moskovitz concert last month, my son has been obsessed with banjo jokes. During one of the MANY tuning breaks, they asked the crowd to fill the time by telling their favorite quips about the old five-string. Joel told many that night. I've been trying to remember them, along with best ones I've heard over the years for when my son asks again, so I thought I'd make this list.

Clawhammer Picks and You: A Review

Clawhammer picks are a useful tool for increasing volume or to overcome fingernail challenges, such as broken, too short or weak nails. There are all sorts of commercial and homemade solutions available for banjo players, but it can be difficult to decide which options to choose. Thankfully, I've already done some of the work for you. Just to be clear, I prefer my natural fingernail for frailing. However, there was a time when I experimented with regularly using a pick, and there are instances now where I find that a pick is necessary. Today, I'll take you through the five options I've tried.

Summer Blockbusters: Top 10 Banjo Movies

We’re nearing the end of the summer movie season, which this year has included blockbusters like Avengers: Infinity War , Solo: A Star Wars Story , Incredibles 2 and other movies, including some that weren’t produced by Disney. However, none of these films showcases a banjo in any way. It's not like the banjo hasn't been featured on the silver screen throughout film history. The five-string has starred in numerous movies, sometimes in its proper context as a musical instrument and other times as a comedic prop. Whether making a cameo or starring in the hands of the main character, it's well past time to present my Top 10 Banjo Blockbusters: O Brother Where Art Thou?
