| You think them blues ain't here on this banjo neck, the same as they're on that guitar? They're just as much on this banjo neck as they are on that guitar or piano, or anywhere else if you know where to go and get it, and if you learn it and know how to play it. |
Welcome to my site dedicated to the blues banjo!
The idea of playing the blues on a banjo sounds crazy to many. But the blues is more than sad old men sitting around strumming their guitars and singing about all their worries, and the banjo can do much more than just good-time hillbilly music.
Don't believe me? Why not go inside and take a look for yourself!
