They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You won't find no policemen there"

2) do people in Quebec have some folk music cajun stuff like this one?

No, they do not. I will not subject you to Quebecois traditional. Think Leonard Cohen. Quebeckers listen to mostly electronic, alternative rock and pop. Especially electronic.

Did you know I liked Cajun music? Don't get to listen to it very often:

We ve kept the Big Guy busy as well down here. Last week my better half , under the influence of booze + coke+ a gigantic weed brownie decided to disappear and wonder alone in a neighborhood in which even I could have been easily mugged and raped...me and my mates started searching for her everywhere and were about to call the police ( just to give u the idea of our despair) and then .....we ve finally found her, while she was chatting amiably with a crackhead. No one had messed with her and or with her properties if this is not a proof of God´s existence and of His predilection for differently rational people....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Rl2O7W1rg

I had some interesting insight in Amsterdam Red Light district when I was 20something, while tripping on some super strong shrooms...Infinite are the Lord´s ways !

Hey man, making the transition from guitar to banjo wasn't all that hard for me. In fact, I started out banjo with a couple of group lessons and pretty much all the other students were guitar players. The two instruments have a couple of things in common although the differences are greater. I chose to learn clawhammer banjo, which is much more different than bluegrass banjo. I don't have enough space here to explain the differences between bluegrass and clawhammer styles but you can find comparison videos on youtube.

I don't mind sharing one of my songs from youtube. I have two channels. One channel has my name associated with a lot of the videos, so I will not be posting any of those. The other channel I created more recently and I posted a video on it this afternoon. It's an Unlisted video so people can only watch it if they have the link. This song was written in 2003 and is my very first original composition. I think I posted a shittier version somewhere around here a couple years ago but this one is a little cleaner.

For the record, I never claimed I could play like Jimi Hendrix. I put more effort into writing lyrics than anything else ;)

It's great that you found the transition from guitar to banjo relatively smooth. Clawhammer banjo does have its own unique style compared to bluegrass, but it's awesome that you found your niche.
