Five Strings Inside

*** FIVE STRINGS INSIDE v2.0 *** CELTIC AND OLD TIME BANJO SESSION This is "Five Strings Inside V2.0" and is simply the sequel to my first attempt at web design some years ago. I began playing the banjo as a kid, I mean long time ago though my first instrument was a banjolin. I later gave a try to the mandolin, hawaiian slide guitar and eventually some penny whistle. But my first interest in playing music is to play the five strings banjo whatever the style: 3 fingers bluegrass picking, classic ragtime, old time clawhammer or frailing, soloing or back-up, it's always banjo for me. The more I listen to various traditional musics, the more it appears obviously to me that there's only one music for all world. I do listen to music from India, Asia, East Europe or Mediterannean, and also more occidental as english, Irish or American. Pentatonic modes are universal and express the same feelings all the world. Actually, the earth getting smaller and smaller, musicians are meeting each other from farther and farther, always finding a language in music they have in common. Such a mix gives what we call "World Music" in which we find only what musicians have in common (though the music in itself is good, but it tends toward uniformity). The Flecktones or Oregon belong to the exceptions playing a kind of jazz-rock fusion always expanding their own boundaries alot farther than most of those "world" bands.
