[C] When you get to 20, that's going to be a little problem.
[E] So you're going into another tuning on this?
Oh, that's right.
[Am] He played this for me yesterday, and he's setting his [C] Scrooge tuners [Dm] not the usual [G] way.
He's setting them the way Earl set them up for [E] Randy Lynn Rag, which means he raises
the second string [Gb] instead of lowering it, [Em] and then the third string gets [G] lowered in
the usual way down to F [E] sharp.
So one's going up to C, and the other one's going down to [Gb]
F sharp.
And ready to roll?

[Ab] This is a question that most banjo players who can do it good enough to play at a workshop
like this won't get, but what do you do about people, like as soon as you [D] start to play,
great
[Cm] skill, but also you're a small [D] guy at this point in your life, and you have all
this skill, and so people find [F] that exceptional, and then what do you do when they start to applaud?
I looked at you, and you just kept playing, obviously.
But do you have a way of just [B] tuning that out and not worrying about it?
Yeah, I used to do that too.
[E]
I remember Al Roker interviewed you on the Today Show, and [Ab] getting that kind of compliment
not to [Gbm] compliment you [G] for anybody, but especially a younger person.
[E] Any words of wisdom you have for us about how to deal with keeping her kind of going
gaga about you?
[Gm] I don't know, I just [D] do it.
She has two older brothers to keep them in line anyway if she gets out of line, not to
mention three younger siblings [E] and some very careful parents, you can [D] be sure.
And you're taking lessons by Skype from Steve Sparkman I know, so I want you to play something
that he showed you that goes into the Stanley [Gm] sound a little bit [E] maybe.
Well, he's been working on trying to make me play him.
Can you hear him alright?
[E] You can pull [G] the microphone a little closer, just so you can [Db] hold it all the way down,
there you go.
[D] Yeah, I used to hook my [E] pinky in the bridge right there, but [G] he's trying to work with
me on getting [B] my two fingers right here, [D] right in the [E] head, so I can
[Eb] It's definitely a better tone.
Sorry?
It's [E] definitely a better tone.
It's a better tone.
[A]
[Gm] [Em]
[E] And [E] you have a Huber banjo I know that you only recently got.
[G] What made you choose the Huber?
[E]
Well, my dad had got
Well, I just [Ab] tried the Huber one time and I like [A] the sound, so I [Ab] bought one.
I have [Abm] a little saying for that, which is, [Gb] if it sounds good, it must be good.
Yeah.
That's reason enough.
Well, why don't you play us a number two, or anybody with a question for Johnny here?
We have a ticket for that.
What kind of banjo do you have?
[A] It's a Huber.
The one right now?
Yes. Yeah.
[Eb] How about you?
That's Ian Perry who writes for Banjo Newsletter [Em] and so on.
Go ahead.
How old were you when you started?
[Em] Six years.
[E] You were six years old?
Are you trying?
Six years old.

How old were you when you started?
Five.
Four.
Earl was four.
Mark?
[Ab] Fifteen.
[Em] I was fifteen years old.
And Gina?
Eight.
Eight.
[B] And I [Am] remember her when she was eight.
[Eb]
[Am] And I was fourteen [E] myself, and within about two months I got to see Earl when he came to New York.
And I remember falling on the floor numerous times watching him play.
Anyway, how about another tune, Johnny?
[Am] You can play it longer than 30 seconds, this one, if you want.
You guys want to play a song?
No, I'm too [F] busy.
I don't want to.
No, [Dm] let's play with some sugar.
[Eb] You name it.
You got a [Em] request for Shuckin' the Corn, but that's whatever you want to play.
I'll try this one.
Okay.
