Well, not really about banjos, but apparently they banned in this section. ;D Actually, I just dropped by to say hi to everyone. What's the story on the old forum? Is the idea to try and sustain both?

Hi Jane, great to see you online again! Yes, this is just an alternative home, grown from the dissatisfaction over the handling of the original forum, but over there is still where we mainly hang out. So, what you up to then?

Hi Jane- great to hear from you! All sorts of technical problems with the main forum from time to time, especially recently - Martin kindly set this one up as a "fall-out shelter" for when the main forum is down, and as a safeguard in case it goes permantetly pear-shaped. Hope to see the giraffe back on the main forum with all your news sometime soon. (Even if it is about banjos.) Keith

Hi Martin :-)
Well, still failing to get a half-decent sound out of the cello. Bowed instruments are hard! But making some progress on jazz piano (I've got a great teacher), and of course still driving the neighbours crazy with your banjo ;D
I'm hoping I can be around a bit more from now on, and join in the fun. I'll keep an eye on both forums. I like this one though! I had a roam around the other one earlier, and it's sloooow.

Keith Hi Keith, good to see some old friends here. :-) I think the goofy giraffe may be lost - it doesn't appear if I log on to the main forum - but I'll see if I can find it again. If not, I'm sure I can find a goofy banjo avatar to take its place. ;D

Yaaaaaas!! Banjo avatars are where it's at! Glad to hear you're still persevering with the 5-stringed noise polluter, Jane. I've had a long layoff from it, but I've started twanging again, and it's as much fun as ever.

Thanks for the warm welcome back everyone. I'm afraid it has inspired me to increased banjo twanging today ;D Off to search for the giraffe!
