From barbbanjo on 7/20/2014 11:01:17 PM

Well, I did it! I placed my order for one new Celebrity Hatfield banjo and so far I am not regretting it one bit! Bev put me on to youtube to hear Ben Greene play with Carolina Road and that clinched it. That was the sound I wanted! Now, if only it could make me play like Ben! Three months is a long time to wait for anything but I will have to do a lot of things to make the time pass quickly. Thanks, Mike, for letting me play your Special and thanks everyone else for all the encouragement.

	montanamike says: 7/21/2014 6:48:14 AM Yahoo... We will have to get together and pick a few when it arrives! I've wanted to hear the maple in person so this will be great.
	RTWhite says: 7/24/2014 12:50:30 PM YAY!
	barbbanjo says: 7/24/2014 2:23:53 PM Ryan - today is the first time I have felt a twinge of guilt but it was there. I banished it with the vision of the gold plating! Is your Celebrity gold plated or did you opt for silver?
	Banjo Lefty says: 7/30/2014 5:54:02 PM I ordered my special a couple of weeks ago and now I have to wait until next January before I can go down there and pick it up. Know how you feel, but remember: anticipation just adds to the excitement.
	barbbanjo says: 7/30/2014 8:26:45 PM Banjo Lefty, we will just be miserable together!! I don't know how I am going to make it through October. I plan to keep really busy. What are you going to do to make the time pass?
	Banjo Lefty says: 8/2/2014 11:31:29 AM Practise on my Gold Tone, of course!
	RTWhite says: 8/6/2014 1:47:34 PM Barb, not sure what you did about a strap, but one of the two straps Arthur sells has the exact same pattern in the leather as the inlay work on the banjo.
	barbbanjo says: 8/6/2014 4:47:59 PM Wow! That strap sounds awesome! I just ordered one of those super supporting ones as my back is getting worse. I think arthritis is setting in the old injury. I'd sure like one of those straps! I'm going to look it up on his site and see what it looks like. I'm going crazy with the wait! I can hardly stand it! Arthur said around the end of October it should be ready. That seems like forever!
	Banjo Lefty says: 8/7/2014 6:10:58 PM Are you going to pick it up in person?
	barbbanjo says: 8/7/2014 8:05:06 PM I soooo wish I was, Lefty. I have a back injury and can't sit long enough to fly back there. I could do it if my husband could drive me back in the RV so I could lie down when I needed to. But that isn't going to happen. How about you?
	Banjo Lefty says: 8/8/2014 7:00:48 AM Absolutely! My wife and I are driving down to Florida next January; we'll stop in at Arthur's studio on the way back.
	barbbanjo says: 8/8/2014 11:04:51 AM I'm so happy for you! And jealous!
