Banjo NewsLetter is a monthly 32-page magazine covering all aspects of the 5-string banjo. Started by Hub Nitchie and his wife Nancy in 1973, BNL is now published by his two sons Donald and Spencer. Over twenty accomplished and well-known columnists and contributors (including Janet Davis, Jack Hatfield, Murphy Henry, John Wright, Ian Perry, Steve Garner, Bubba Hutch, Michael Miles, Robert Piekiel, Bill Knopf and Ken Perlman) cover a wide range of banjo topics, including features on banjo players, banjo techniques (three-finger, clawhammer, and others), beginning banjo, music theory, product and record reviews, and typically at least nine tunes in banjo tablature per month. BNL has more than 5,500 subscribers in the US and internationally--and all of them banjo players.
