What gives, It seems like the forum has gone dark lately. Are most people off doing Christmas stuff and too busy to visit the forum? Just that time of year sir. Folks are busy with Christmas shopping, holiday travel plans, etc. The devs are just quiet because they are industriously working on WOFF DOUBLE PLATINUM - err GOLD. Whatever.

Me, I'm always at the low end of energies from November to February. And I must admit, I actually HATE the Christmas time. Everyone is so busy with "internal affairs", and places like this forum go almost dead for a while. Arrggghhh!!!

Seems like some of us are still flying DiD but not many these days probably due to the Christmas Holiday preparation, parties, family gatherings, etc, etc Myself, I have been busy with the same and investigation into some mod developments for WOFF. Seasons best wishes to all, and hope Santa leaves some liquid refreshments to your taste, in your stocking this year! That way you can toast health, happiness, and prosperity to all in a very appropriate fashion!

Well, banjo players don't have social lives anyway... Don't tell that to Steve Martin.
SALUTE TO ALL!

Technically, the banjo did come from Africa, but what we know today as the banjo was developed in the US. The early banjos that the slaves played were nothing more than animal skins stretched over gourd bodies and some strings, very primitive but they sound really cool. It was actually the Minstrel shows of the early and mid nineteenth century that really propelled the banjo into a national instrument. As hard as it is to believe for a non-banjo fan, the banjo during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was probably the most popular instrument in the US. It wasn't until the 40s and 50s that the guitar started to supplant it. Anyway, that enough banjo trivia for anyone. Just so happens that Clawhammer is my style of choice. I can play 3 finger Scruggs style but the old time music is what I really like.
