"In a sad twist of events, the banjo player did not realize that the E chord he fingered while playing I'll Fly Away, would be the last chord he would ever make in his mortal life. As the investigation determined, his finger placement on the 1st and 4th strings completed the circuit which sent a lethal surge of electricity coursing through his body."

Such an electrifying situation! I heard they were having problems down in Florida (or where-ever) with, uh, "Smokey Jim," their state extermination device. Perhaps newer candidates too could Fly Away with this banjo! banjered

I wonder watt the great philosopher, Voltaire, would have to say. I know that he is not currently popular although this trend alternates. His ideas face great resistance especially in the United Kingdom ampire.

These lights are functional but all require rewiring. The original wire is tar dipped for the insulation which dries out and will crack and short.
Covered “vintage” lamp wire is very easy to get and cheap. These are no more difficult to require than a standard lamp. I’ve done two sets. They work great to keep hide heads tight.

Now see here banjered. I am in the panhandle of Florida and the next time you play "I Hear The Train Coming" in the key of E watch out for that Florida alligator we left behind your picking chair.??
