Two eBooks - - - from Little Bear Banjo Publishing House and Screen Door Factory, a subsidiary of Little Bear Banjo Enterprises, LBBH Ltd.
With the
assistance and encouragement of my friend David Brooks, I recently broke the
code on posting eBooks to the Amazon Kindle site.
Here are my
first two efforts.
My Banjo Journey, Bealeton,
Virginia: Little Bear Banjo Publishing House, a subsidiary of Little Bear Banjo
Enterprises, 2018.

In this little book,
I describe the part of my banjo journey that had to do with collecting and
repairing vintage banjos - somewhere between learning clawhammer, teaching
clawhammer, and obsessively collecting niche instruments, I turned my attention
to trying to keep these things in a state of repair, workable, or at least
collectible. All that represents my
“banjo journey” . . . so far.
Socratic Banjo: Clawhammer
Instructional Stuff, Bealeton, Virginia: Little Bear

There are
three parts to this book, written as an attempt to describe my trajectory
through life where things banjo are concerned. The first three chapters attempt
to convey the basics of clawhammer banjo playing. Chapter One captures my recollections of my
first clawhammer banjo lesson taught by Bates Littlehales. Chapter Two relates a lesson taught to me by
Dwight Diller many years after I first sat down with him to further my
clawhammer education. The rest of the
book is an effort to use what I learned from those teachers, and from many
other musicians and music teachers who sought to make clawhammer accessible to
me, to teach students of my own.
THANKS! Let me know what you thing!
