From: JohnInKansas Most of the banjo players I've known have seemed to think that they don't have a real banjo until they've customized it with parts from about that many. Maybe the whole lot could make ONE decent one (or as decent as a banjo can get). So hoiw much did you bid? (Or maybe you shouldn't tell until after the sale. Somebody might use the info to outbid ya.) John |

30 Nov 13 - 07:10 AM (#3580158) Subject: RE: Eight distressed banjos! From: Eldergirl A bodhran ThoughtfullyPlayed is a rare and wonderful thing (yes it is, don't argue) please note I did say RARE.. It's the unpractised clowns who think it's just another thing to bash the hell out of, that are the problem. As in so many other areas of life... Ditto, a banjo. |
