Hello,my name is Alexander Holdom, 1/4 Scottish.
I play jazz piano and now at the age of 62 because I cannot take my piano with me to a venue, have decided to learn the Irish banjo. I've joined in many a session playing spoons. I just love the music. It gets in the blood. I've just bought a banjo on ebay to practice on but am looking for a good one.
I live in Brittany France (area 56) now where there's loads of music going on. 1.7.07.
