So you can come out of the closet and admit that you own and pick one of these indestructable banjos!

So let us unite, in a safe place where we can extole the virtues of our prized banjos!
The banjo pictured is the gate checked banjo - it was given to me with the peghead broken off and with an unsucessful bad attempt at repair. Well, I fixed it, modified it a bit and gave the resonator to my son, spray painted the back of the head with a snowflake stencil. One can do such things, because it is an aluminum rim, and no one cares what you do to the thing!
I really enjoy playing this thing. It has a history to it and sounds good. I take it out to the antique fair, where weather is always nasty - too hot, too cold, threatening rain, etc. And it can take all that and still sound good.
Of course, I play OT up-picking with finger picks on! So that says something about me. If it works.......
Love to all my fellow outcasts!
