Is there a long neck out there, new or vintage that you're lusting after? Or do you already have the banjo of your dreams? For me it's an OME Grand Artist Hummingbird Long Neck... that one's a long ways away though.

	Sean ONeel says: 12/20/2012 8:56:59 PM I own my dream...my Bob Gibson tribute Vega long neck: A 1924-1925 Tubaphone pot with a 1962 Folklore neck that Dan Pennington smoothed out, added inlays and ebony fretboard. Has an old Vega Vox tailpiece as Bob G and Erik Darling used in their pre-Seeger model Vega long necks. What can I say? It plays and sounds like buttah...

	wbheilmann says: 12/20/2012 10:48:26 PM Do we only get ONE?! One that I'd like is way too costly for my coin purse -- The Deering/Vega Tom Dooley banjo. As far as I know, there have only been 2 made, both are owned by friends of mine, and I've played one of them a time or two. Beautiful sound, beautiful artwork, excellent playability...what more can I say? A Wildwood longneck banjo is another one on my short list. I've encountered only one such longneck...it had a wonderful sound and looked great, and the owner told me that it was the best playing banjo he'd ever come across. Back to reality. My Goldtone OT-800 LN is really a stellar banjo, and I'm happy with it. BUT...if I ever win the lottery.... WB
	mainejohn says: 12/21/2012 4:35:22 AM I have it...it's the one in my profile pic. I made the neck as a tribute to Pete Seeger on his 90th birthday, and it's on a 20's Tubaphone pot. It's a replica of his legendary lignum vitae that Pete has played for close to 60 years.

	five12gal says: 12/23/2012 3:44:37 PM My '65 Ode longneck is great. I REALLY wish I could find my stolen Iida longneck though!
	ObsidianSpike says: 12/23/2012 3:58:25 PM Yikes! Sad to hear it got stolen... I hope it comes back to you someday!

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 6 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
