Arthur Ness has reminded me of Jim Tyler playing the banjo on YouTube.
If you click on the other videos at the top there is a nice BBC tribute
to Jim with him playing a John Johnson pavan behind some pictures.

James Tyler also was quite a banjo player. The next LSA
Quarterly,
which is just about finished, will include a lot of peopl'e fond

Hey, don't knock it -- the banjo is how I got to the lute in the
first place! Are there any other banjo/lutenists out there?
