Just discovered this! Awesome! Side note: even though it is mostly jazz banjo (plectrum & tenor), you guys ever consider attending the North American International Banjo Celebration (naibc.org) in Dearborn? I started attending a few years back and even though I was one of the only 5-stringers in attendance, I found the diversity of musicianship, jams, workshops, concerts, and beer chats to be an absolute gold mine of inspiration, history, and knowledge (i.e. fun). Lots of other instruments/players in attendance as well. Would be cool to hang out!
Hey Garett, thanks for listening!
I have wanted to attend the NAIBC for several years but so far haven’t quite made it. Thanks for the reminder!
