I got up this morning and took to the banjo and man I had a great time. I finally had a good day of pickin and it has been a while for me since I felt good about that way. Kinda been in a slump for some reason.
That old ball bearing even makes a wreck like me sound better. I am truely in love.

Just got a 1926 BB and an original 5 string neck from the same era to go with it. I will get the neck fit this week. I cannot wait to hear how it sounds!!
