About Me

Andy: Thirsk, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom; Well I'm not really a boy but 'man' sounded like I know what I'm talking about... Since I took up the banja it's become something of an obsession and as I keep finding things on the web and then losing them I thought I needed somwhere to keep track of things.

Why?

I started learning to play the banjo in Jan 2008 and this blog is a record of my progress through the strange and arcane world of this peculiar instrument. It's also a place to put down my thoughts, frailings and flailings on other banjo related stuff.
