I use to change the clocks, then I found out you can change the time and re-use the old clock. What a discovery!

There is no "RULE" that one MUST play the banjo in any particular way.
In fact, local Milwaukee, Wisconsin banjo expert Ken Haferman gave me the best advice I ever got, and I pass it along to all and sundry:

Thanks Scott for the input, I can see now how the different heads do make a difference in the way a banjo sounds.

- Re: About the time I think I'm doing good, I discover I need to learn something else
Thinking of how I might get myself practiced up quicker on some of these straight rolls.
This is what I came up with for this C lick or forward roll in C chord. I think it is a pretty good practice Tab or not…..

- Re: How to wash a cat
Thanks for the link to Serenity Farm. Looks like a great bakery. The bread looks awesome!
Too bad they didn't include a photo of their oven. - Re: How to wash a cat
I love Gettysburg!! I've never been to the festival but I'd drive there for the pizza.
- Re: How to wash a cat
Thanks folks. I have another small portable oven I take to the Gettysburg festival every year. Maybe tomorrow I'll dig up some pics of that for you.

- Re: Roll question..
looking at the original question
It sounds like you're trying to understand how syncopated 3-stroke rolls work with 2/4 timing of measures.
That's one of the reasons I say the forward roll is this: tm tim tim or this: tim tim tm because those both fit …

Later in Todds videos he does a cool walk into D chord…walks in, 'toggles' 3rd and 4th fret 4th string, then walks out and into go. A real cool D to G turnaround/ transition. I wish that little piece was tabbed out, I can't fit it into a roll. I can …
