Let's get this out front right now -- I play a banjo.

No not me... Brian Robertson writes about playing banjo, why he doesn't play bluegrass and about what playing folk music means to him in Play A Banjo, Go To Jail???
Update: Unfortunately Mr Robertson has taken down his weblog
"Be that as it may, happily bluegrass-less, I am a banjo addict. I play old-time music, if you will, with the kind of mountain sound you'd find in Kentucky or the like. I'm talking real folk music, not the self-indulgent claptrap that you hear so often on places like Sirrius radio's Folktown and in dorm rooms by angst-ridden post-teenagers. I'm talking music that has its power in its simplicity and directness."
