  • Clawhammer Illuminations What Would THESE Guys Do? Five High-Profile Progressive Clawhammer Artists Answer
    Clawhammer Illuminations What would THESE guys do? Five high-profile progressive clawhammer artists answer common questions concerning the banjo Clawhammer Illuminations What would THESE guys do? Five high-profile progressive clawhammer artists answer common questions concerning the banjo Online banjo forums are filled with all sorts of questions from players interested in instrument choices, banjo set up, personal playing styles, technique, etc. As valuable as these forums might be, they can also be confusing for players trying to navigate advice posted from banjoists who's playing experience might range from a few weeks to literally decades. It was these forum discussions that started me thinking about how nice it would to have access to a collection of banjo related questions that were answered by some of the most respected "progressive" clawhammer banjoists performing today. I am very excited about this project as I don't believe any comprehensive collection of this nature has been published before… Mike Iverson 1 © 2013 by Mikel D. Iverson Background Information: Can you describe what it is about your personal style of play that sets you apart from other clawhammer banjoists? What recording have you made that best showcases this difference? Michael Miles: As musicians, I believe we are the sum of what he have heard. So the more you listen, the richer you get. My personal musical style on the banjo is in great part rooted in Doc Watson and JS Bach. Through Doc Watson, I learned about the phrasing of traditional music. Through Bach, I learned the majesty and reach of all music.

  • SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 803 By
    SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 803 By Henry A RESOLUTION to honor the memory of Earl Scruggs, an American musical treasure. WHEREAS, the members of this General Assembly and music fans around the globe were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of bluegrass music legend and American treasure, Mr. Earl Scruggs; and WHEREAS, Earl Scruggs was revered around the world as a musical genius whose innovative talent on the five-string banjo pioneered modern banjo playing and he crafted the sound we know as bluegrass music. We will never see his superior; and WHEREAS, born on January 6, 1924, in Flint Hill, North Carolina, Earl Eugene Scruggs was the son of George Elam Scruggs, a farmer and bookkeeper who played the banjo and fiddle, and Lula Ruppe Scruggs, who played the pump organ in church; and WHEREAS, after losing his father at the age of four, Earl Scruggs began playing banjo and guitar at a very young age, using the two-finger picking style on the banjo until he was about ten years old, when he began to use three - the thumb, index, and middle finger - in an innovative up-picking style that would become world-renowned and win international acclaim; and WHEREAS, as a young man, Mr. Scruggs' banjo mastery led him to play area dances and radio shows with various bands, including Lost John Miller and His Allied Kentuckians. In December of 1945, he quit high school and joined Bill Monroe's band, the Blue Grass Boys; and WHEREAS, with his magnificent banjo picking, the group's popularity soared and Earl Scruggs redefined the sound of bluegrass music, as evidenced on such classic Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys tracks as "Blue Moon of Kentucky," "Blue Grass Breakdown," and "Molly and Tenbrooks (The Race Horse Song)"; and WHEREAS, with his mastery of the banjo and guitar matched only by his beautiful baritone, Mr.
