Victoria 'Vega' Banjess Born 1900 (Nickname Tubby)

Seed - lemme know how much you like that Tubby - I can't stand in your path to celestial enlightnement. BTW This Banjo has had but two owners since new. It needs a musician home not a museum so you are the person who should be owner No 3. (I ain't firm about exchange value where talent is a factor)

Guitars

I have been 'through' many a box - including Martins, Yamahas, Fenders even Echo(Italian) but never did get the one I wanted. I believe *God* does arrange these things and when you need, *it* arrives. I recall my first Guitar with some guilt - at 8 years old you don't really know much. After several Electric Guitars (gawd that sounds weird) got an Aria 6 which was *YUMMIE*, but a college student often needs cash. OUCH - After that I was given several Acoustics by people who played and collected them - often after I showed them a few licks. But for sheer putting the tune *out there* the old Gibson I now have has no equal. It cost me $100=00 in 1998, I had to play for a few hours with one excellent fiddler - never did get the guys name. After finding out that I did not own a Guitar, he put the thing in my hands and said 'thats the guitar for you...gimme what you think its worth' Thats the Okie way :)

In case you feel sorry for the fiddler - the Gibson was a honky tonk Guitar which after settling an arguement had to have a new Back fitted. Oddly the new back give this little tiger more punch than the regular Gibson.
