banjerino Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi folks Looking for other banjo players in Bangkok to jam with / learn from. I'm beginner-ish with 6 months of online learning under my belt (3 finger Scruggs style on 5-string banjo). Now that the whole virus thing is slowing down (fingers crossed no wave 2), it would be nice to get together and make some music. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If you do it in a public venue need a work permit. Few years ago farangs jamming in a Chiang Mai bar were arrested for working without a work permit. Might get away with it though- do you feel lucky?

Rimmer Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I play bluegrass 5 string banjo also bluegrass guitar and have done for over 55 years but am down in Pattaya if you ever get that way at all. Several bluegrass musicians live in this area. Six months is a very short time to get into jamming or for learning five string Scruggs picking. I am always very happy to play and help another musician learn Bluegrass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The original Bluegrass boys, maybe the Thais should be wearing suits and ties? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 You might also contact Thorn Banjo who lives in Bangkok via his facebook page, I have jammed with them a number of times, they play some original Bluegrass music and mix it in with Thai Bluegrass. https://www.facebook.com/thorn.banjo There is another group in Bangkok called 'Thai Sidewalk' you can probably find them on the Bluegrass Club Thailand page 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to dress in cowboy hats, cowboy shirts and cowboy boots..... I dont, so I guess I am not a real Thai bluegrass musician I remember Bill Monro explaining to a group of us fans many years ago about the hats they all wore, they were pure white Kentucky Colonel style, that must have been back around 1965 when that picture was taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This video is pretty much standard dress for bluegrass musicians now, I look more like David Grissman in the video and feel like I am old and in the way as well ????

Orton Rd Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Prefer the old dress style, even if they did look like Texas Rangers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
