Hi Flatpicker .... the cabin idea would be brilliant ! ... there is no place like it and am sure people would go for it . Unless you go to an "open mic" night in a pub etc its hard for people who are into accoustic  sounds having anywhere . Really sounds good .  On the other note ... I am only in plaster for another 3 weeks ...it was a repair job because I broke my leg last year in three places and dislocated my foot .. it didnt heal properly . In a way its nice to have a few  weeks to indulge myself with being lazy ... and plenty of time to learn my banjo .

Thank you marcalan ... but my banjo is not able to be open back. Thanks for taking the time for the advice though ... also checked out your website and your stuff is really well done . Great voice style and clean recording etc ... sounds like you play for a living ?.

Just had to comment when I saw someone elese on here say about the noise when practising the banjo .... Thats the one thing thats holding me back ... I live in a small house and have neighbours beside me and up above at the back on a bank  ... I am always muting the frailing or picking because of the racket I make with it and it really is inhibiting me learning . Once in a while I will go loud with it for about a minute  ( about once a week ) ... then stop because I know I can be heard etc .... I wished I lived a bit more secluded ...lol

I agree with zurf ... it also saves a lot of writing .

Thanks guitarpix .... set my mind at rest a bit . I thought I would have to spend more than I thought . 
By the way .. I dont know who does their translating - but I found this quite funny . This is a complete copy and paste and unedited by me .

           " This Amigo brandmark soprano Ukulele is idealistic in quest of those sounding to seek come out a young instrumentate!

it all depends on whether you are trying to exactly copy the song ... in that case play the cd over and over again , or do it your way . you are allowed to try a different version. though bear in mind that the original is usualy the way it was meant at the time ... no easy answers .... have fun .

try to advertise for a singer for your stuff... duo etc... you might meet the odd singer you combine with and jam together well. trial and error . experiment .

i could never get over the fact that i was supposed to be " the big entertainer" .... having 2000 songs in my head and you would still get some drunk asking for an obscure song and you cant do it ... ( or remember the words) .... you will never - ever satisfy everybody.... you are better off working out a 1 and a half hour session spread out . and they listen to what you provide . do not do requests. unless its one that you done earlier to repeat it so as to make the night nice for you . thats just me .

when the building site we was working on was frozen  - me and a freind busked for money to get us over christmas for the kids  . we played in a subway in slough ( uk ) . it was freezing  !!!!!! . it wasnt the neck that caused the constant retuning  , it was the cold . making the strings brittle .
