	mainejohn says: 5/3/2014 3:36:24 PM I played this banjo a couple of years ago, and it's a fine example of a well cared for, great sounding pre-Baldwin Ode longneck. Not much else to report other than I have no personal interest in the sale of the interest.

	john bange says: 5/5/2014 8:14:14 AM I wonder if a geared 5th string peg could be used with the scalloped capo...any one know?
	john bange says: 5/16/2014 7:43:27 AM I made an offer on this banjo. It was turned down. I think it is a good banjo but it is missing the Ode tuners and Ode tail piece. These are very valuable and while I would not have kept them, I would have sold them to help offset the cost. It looked like I would have had to remove the Ode scalloped capo to install a geared 5th string peg. I wouldn't have liked the holes.It is also missing the 28 original Ode brackets and closed end nuts. They might have been rusty. All that and a big finish flaw on the neck and no Lifton case made my $800 offer a stretch IMHO. The guy was very nice and knowlegable and I wish him luck...I'll probably regret it...we'll see

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 8 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
