Morgan Sexton's "Last of Callahan" played on my be Morgan Sexton's "Last of Callahan" played on my beautiful Mike Ramsey banjo. I found this instrument at @mozepics in La Mesa, California and had not heard Mike's name before. I bought the banjo, brought it home, and googled Mike's name to see he had passed on just the day before. Wherever you are Mike, thanks for making this beautiful-sounding instrument. . . . . . . . . . . #oldtime #bluegrass #folk #folkmusic #traditionalmusic #banjo #banjomusic #banjoplayer #banjolessons #clawhammerbanjo #clawhammer #frailing #dropthumbsnotbombs

2021 is winding down. Here’s just a few moments 2021 is winding down. Here’s just a few moments from the year that I’m grateful for and people I’m grateful to have shared them with.
Proud of my student Kenzo’s work on the piano. W Proud of my student Kenzo’s work on the piano. We started working together two years ago on blues, stride, and early jazz styles. Here he is playing jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton’s piece “Grandpa’s Spells.” We worked on this like a typical jazz chart: starting with sheet music showing only a single-note melody and chord names written above. Then we filled out the arrangement using techniques common to the style, and based on Morton’s own playing. As if that wasn’t enough, Kenzo shot and edited this video himself too! Way to go! . . . . . . . . . #onlinemusiclessons #piano #stridepiano #jazz #ragtime #ragtimepiano #jellyrollmorton #pianolessons #blues #bluespiano #jazzpiano #jazzpianist
