I dont know about yall,,, but what draws me to this music ,,, is I like to hear it played by all levels of players,,, and in different styles. John Peterson the Mountain Banjo guy, I have a few of his CDs . He has a stripped down style,,,and it works and sounds real good, especially with his vocals.
But hearing other folks posting lately who have a much more notey approach is also so fun to listen to.
This music is just fun, super technical ,, or just plain vanilla. nothing wrong with vanilla.
I have really not felt his same way about other instruments. viva la banjo
