I came across this recent and lengthy discussion on longneck banjos elsewhere in Banjo Hangout, and thought to link the entire discussion to our group, which, sadly, seems to be rarely visited. Hope the folks on this group will check it out:

A lot of great information about longneck banjos.

danpaw says: 1/18/2022 10:36:08 PM fwiw, I just found this group one day after your post, so thanks! This past summer I stumbled across a Bacon Folk model long neck (early 60s I think) in a music store in Tulsa, OK and I've been waiting for the time to give it a proper setup

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 7 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

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
