I only know one real banjo player who plays traditional style. In going to the bluegrass shows I note that the clawhammer style seems to have the hand in a fixed position (fingers stiff) and moving the fingers to where they need to pluck.

...that amidst this Play within a Play
as Time, most gentle & unforgiving of our inexorable Masters
- may bestow upon us All just this measure more High of a Renaissance...
Wake ! Wake upon this Moon'sDay
- that I may gaze upon my own Skull - as were it were within my own hand
- outstretched to ponder me back in its turn
- Momento Mori as the Italians say
...this fine a distance from which to best mediate upon any Work in any Gallery...
