I thinik I like the sound of a Banjo, but as I live in Western Europ I wouldn't know where to start in terms of finding music with this instrament in it.

Any one recommendations?

Hey man thats cool, just the sound I was looking for. Thanks for the link.

Not sure if they actually use banjo's but wouldn't be suprised, check out '.357 string band' they're pretty good I know they have a myspace page.

Robert Crumb played the banjo in his band R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders that you might like. They played old-timey music durring the 70's and 80's with an awesome 20's string band vibe. Definitely give "My Girl's Pussy" a listen.

Thanks a lot

That song the creepy guy played in Deliverance

yonder mountain string band check it out it's great stuff
