	john bange says: 3/7/2017 10:19:58 PM kinda agree with Boulderfolkie...I might go for the Bacon Belmont here in the classifieds rather than the Grafton...have money left over for a case...no truss rod but, then I use nylon strings, so what do I know?
	John Gribble says: 3/13/2017 4:48:40 PM Actually, I have to respectfully disagree with the above opinions. The seller appears knowledgeable and the materials fairly good quality, mostly appropriate to this style of instrument (I'd probably change the tailpiece). If he could be talked down a hundred bucks it would probably be a pretty good deal.
	boulderfolkie says: 3/14/2017 11:27:52 AM I agree with both Johns - $100 off and you still can't go wrong....
	john bange says: 3/14/2017 11:34:31 AM yea...$100 or so less and it starts to look better. I never had a problem with Asian banjos other than the hardware thread tolerance and the heads always in need of tightening.
	JABork says: 3/18/2017 12:45:53 PM Well, it keeps getting re-listed at the same price. Maybe if it comes down a bit I'll bite. I don't know why I feel the need to own more banjos than I can play at once...

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
