Hi I love the recordings of Willie Chapman on Mountain Music of Kentucky. Such a great style!

I can only find his recordings on that album. Does anyone know where I can find more information about him and more of his music?

So I am relatively new the banjo, having been playing since December, and only weekends/breaks as my banjo is at my dads. I mostly listen to a lot of folk punk on the banjo, stuff like AJJ and Littlefoot. Im considering removing the fifth string, as I mostly strum, and when I do do the “bum Tilly bum” Rhythm, it’s typically on the lowest string intentionally, as to mimic my guitar parts. So I was wondering, should I remove the fifth string?
