Hi Charley,

I clearly need to read these posts earlier in the evening. Thanks for the history and correction.

I have a friend who created a fine retirement for himself with fine collection of S.S. Stewart Confetti banjos that he sold over the last 15 years.

BTW, any relation to the Charlie Noble that use to spin over the cabin top of my friend Bill's 24 foot Jay Benford designed ferro-cement gaffed topsail sloop?
