I recently stumbled across some recordings of Paul Metzger, solo improvisations for modified banjo and guitar. YouTube has quite a few videos of him and here is one, the first part of a longer piece performed live at Pat's In The Flats in Cleveland, OH, in November 2008.

Paul did an amazing set at WFMU's SXSW show in 2008 in Austin.

Hi good people, Paul is playing a set on May 29th at the Stone. The next night he's playing a show at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn along with Elaine Evans (solo cornet) and Colin Langenus from USAISAMONSTER (a duo with Marc Orleans). It's going to be a beautiful saturday night. Come see the twangery in the flesh if youtube doesn't take you far enough. You won't regret it. Love, Turner
