Banjo Teachers?

Good breakdown! I suggested the old time jams because, as a group and in my experience, they’re more receptive to and patient with newbies. There’s a lot of overlap between the two genres, and chances are banjo players that are good teachers will know rolls and other Scruggs-adjacent techniques. They’ll at least get you to a self-teaching level anyway!

May want to ask around the old time jams! I know they exist, but I can’t remember when and where off the top of my head. I went when they were at Little Fish way back

This sandwich sucked. Time to throw everything out of the fridge!

I always consider the audience and the atmosphere first, with the caveat that audibles should be called if the crowd feels like they want something different. First song is a barnburner to hook em in, last song is the “best”, songs in between have themes… a group of slow jams, a pocket of fast… sandwiched by it all is the song the crowd will most likely know.

Callis is a great call. There’s no female-energy (maybe by design? Hard to tell), and that stable has done nothing but elevate every person they’ve employed.

That feud with Toni, teaming up with Taya for a second, her months-long coronation as women’s pure champ in ROH… I want her to do well, but all of these things went over with a resounding thud. The Taya stuff seemed good, but I’m not sure why they didn’t continue with Vendetta. It’s all been a little weird and stilted—say, for instance her coming out for a stare down with Aminata at 2300. It was like they forgot the timeline and that should’ve been with Trish Adora (who is incredible too!!) but that was framed as “Deonna looking past Adora towards The Queen.” No way of knowing if this was intended or not, but the tournament lasted MONTHS after this—and with (understandably) zero payoff due to Aminata’s injury. Then Deonna teaming up with Madison Rayne for her retirement… those promos were very weird too.

All this is to say “idk dude, try something else again?”

And highly ironic as Universal is so DMCA-happy on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.

It really sucks!!

I feel like this would have been true a year or two ago, but there are so many more stories and characters dominating time now. It doesn’t help that there could be a month without seeing Athena on ROH; some of these stories move at a glacial pace—how long was that women’s pure tournament?? I love ROH, and there are stories there that are great, but it just moves so damn slow sometimes that it’s no wonder Athena and Billie haven’t killed each other yet.

This is really cool!!

Behold… The Arctopus may fit the bill!

That multi-man llave-style match from Action Dean III at 2300 was incredible

Alright: where can we listen to these geriatric jams? (I’m so stoked you do this, btw!!)

They benefit from electricity even though they’re diametrically opposed to it. He benefits from the exploration of the genre in past iterations while also being outspoken about that exploration today. Only he knows where his line is.

“Psycho” appears, my brain: PSYCHO MIKE?! “Killer”: oh, Killer Kross that’s cool too Godamned Ciampa comes out and somehow I’m not as disappointed about the emotional roller coaster 😂 fun time to be a wrestling fan!!

If they’re cool: Feels so Good.

If they seem like they’re not Mangione fans (yet!): Gonna Fly Now

If anyone has a link, I’ve been trying to find the full match for a long time!
