I pick a banjo like in the clip there..Claw hammer is strumming using the bird finger & thumb & looks like your holding a hammer.. I cant play that way to save meself..Sounds great though..If you want to see some awesome banjo playing look on utube for sleepy mans banjo band the banjo player in about 13 now i guess..They got there name from him cause when he was learning he would lay on a bed close his eyes & play ..There 3 brothers..They are awesome..

It was good to meet you Tony, and always good to see you Mrs HH.

That it twas Dave

I saw the sleepy men banjo boys on david lettermen one night they are really good. Also if you are not aware steve martin is pretty good too.

Well now the task of trying to recall the week that was.
I met Brian at Cessnock where we made way to Ballina.
It was a pretty good trip up plenty of talking about all sorts of things.
The next morning we had a slow start as we had plenty of time to kill before getting to the Ho Har's.
We arrived just before mrs HH got there.
Soon after Glen(ZD) arrived, I felt very out of place .
Big thanks to Brian for coming along I do not know if you ever picked up on it at all but I was quite down a few parts along that route as the last time I did it or any big trip it was under different circumstances and it was great to have someone to distract me, I hope it was not to painful for you

The next night was AG night.
Unfortunately things did not go our way and got there just before the presentation(video).
It was great to start meeting more people and to see some old landys around.
Well Thursday did not disappoint either.
Went over to see Tim and check out his land rovers(nice collection) and had quite a bit of time chatting before I went back via Dan Murphys only because the GPS said it was Ikea(I got there in the end).
Ikea was my favourite shop/store in Sweden and quite often went there for a meal as well so I had to test it out to see how I would go.
After getting back to hotel land rover, Harry took me for a spin in the 101 to visit Glen and digger if you read this he has the best gun buggy ever and he even let me take it for a drive and taught(tried) me to drive an old series. It was my first legal drive of a series, Oh happy days
Thursday night was GDLROC meeting night where I met more aulro members and re-met some others which made it better for the following days.
Oh and I apparently met a wingding pom(there is always something) at some stage
But in all seriousness Dave.......(dam it what do I say here again)
