I was watching some you tube videos of a group called Switchback. In the video "Hangman To Michael Collins"at about 2:25 you get a good look at the peg head. Tell me what you think.

	Kirk Jacobs says: 4/24/2013 7:53:54 PM Cool, thanks for the info. Switchback is suppose to be playing in town on Friday and I was checking out the videos when I saw it
	oolee says: 4/25/2013 6:29:44 AM Howdy! Yeah, that's me, and though wizofos is right about me having a Phoenix, that's the Jackrabbit I'm playing in that video. That was in Cadillac, MI, last summer. Was a million degrees in there. It's the Hangman's Reel to an original reel called Michael Collins' Reel. I generally drum with Switchback, but there are a fair amount of banjo tunes we do also. Nice job spotting that one by the way, wow. Great observation and connection there, unbelieveable, really. Here's another Helix Jackrabbit & Switchback video, in St Louis, MO,...after a minute or so in I come up and lay down some very, VERY light bluegrass picking... youtube.com/watch?v=XuYV4Y_eEgo

	Helix says: 5/3/2013 9:13:43 AM I got too happy there for a second I left my body, best, best wishes everyone. Jackrabbit #009 had 2+years before the Cherry/Ash hybrid, he kept his jackrabbit intact, we played it over here, photographed it in compromising positions. Play more. I'm so proud of you.
