Hi, I have seen interesting discussions of this subject at the Hangout and thought I would post this clip, which we just launched today. Heng Sure is a clerical Buddhist monk who plays and loves banjo. Folks interested in the connection between old time banjo and Zen may enjoy this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOpAjO6wnWQ
thanks, and I would be very interested in what people think of the idea of zen banjo, and what experiences you have had with the contemplative side of banjo playing.
