Google reports over 2,600,000 Banjo Bob's hits on Sunday May 3, 2009.
Janet Davis got only 410,000 hits.
What's going on?
We figured it out. Google confused this Banjo Bob with Cedar Crest Banjo Bob.
This confusion will not hurt Cedar Crest, NM Banjo Bob business.

| Sunday November 30, 2008 Banjo Bob emphasized that timing is more imporant than hitting the right notes. Good banjo, Bob stresses, should sound like a machine gun. So bill is working on timing with limited, yet increasing sucess. For a senior citizen ... exactly 45 days younger than Saddam Hussein. |
Saturday November 29, 2008 banjo lesson, Bob worked again with bill on timing. Bill's timing sucks. And has for over 50 years. We had a discussion on how a metronome should be set. One beat [click for the Cherub] per quarter note or one click per eighth note. Bob used on per quarter note. Bill experimented one per eighth after reading below web side. Bob loan Banjo for Dummies to bill to try to discover what metronome setting were recommended. Bob assigned, then wrote out  Bill googles Banjo in the Hollow and found 1 Cascade banjo & Chia the pug made an appearance. 2 Rick McKeon.  Rick McKeon homepage. So let's work on timing on both. Banjo Bob's and bills conversation of correct metronome use was recorded in mp3 format! |
| Thursday November 27, 2008 12:16 Week of November 22, 2008 banjo lesson is study of Chapter 2, Counting Out Notes in Music Theory For Dummies. Question is one click of a metronome = 1 whole note, half note, quarter note? Banjo Bob did not say. |
| Using Your Metronome.
Because you will be practicing chords and scales while learning the guitar, it just makes sense that you practice them in time. This way you will develop the technical ability for your fingers to remember the scale and chord shapes and at the same time learn to play them in time. It only takes a little extra effort to practice this way but pays huge dividends in your playing. Another good way to use a metronome is as a tool to gauge you progress. By starting on a slow tempo and working your speed up, you can see how much progress you are making, set goals, achieve the goals and move onward! Hints: 1) Always play slow and clean. 2) Start with quarter notes (1 note per click) 3) Advance to eighth notes (2 notes per click) 4) Do triplets too! (3 notes per click) 5) Keep track of you metronome speed settings and try to improve them. 6) Move your foot up and down with the down matching the
click. |

13:32 Sunday September 7, 2008 we purchased a Sony ICD-UX70 1GB stereo digital audio recorder which records in mp3 mode. All for $99 at Office Depot. Major attraction is that the ICD-UX70 is equipped with a usb interface. ICD-UX70 is capable of transferring file from it to a pc and transferring mp3 file from a pc to the ICD-UX70! We were curious how it would do with recording a banjo. Pardon the banjo mistakes. We were focusing on button pushing, not better banjo playing. http://home.comcast.net/~bpayne37/funpics/banjo/banjobobs/banjo.htm#sonymp3 |
 Banjo reccording. Thursday September 11, 2008 06:54 Sony's ICD-UX70 usb implementation is very impressive for many reasons. Trust me.  Drag and drop is supported to move mp3 files to and from the ICD-UX70. |
