	boulderfolkie says: 10/31/2014 6:19:00 PM Woops...there it was on eBay with a whole slew of Deerings gone unsold. Methinks there might be a finite market for new banjos....no matter how well-built.
	giweb says: 10/31/2014 8:52:12 PM My guess is all the banjo players who remember the folk era already have at least one or more long neck. Middle-aged men crave the toys they couldn't afford as teens! After the kids are gone and money accumulates those items are accumulated at last! But it is a five to ten year window.Boston Blackie Fords, '55 Chevies and '57 T-Birds peaked and dropped in value. Watch a car auction and see who is bidding on what. There is much more depth to this theory than I can add, however. giweb "Nothing Worthwhile is Easy!" "Making Music is Worthwhile!" Long Neck Banjos, Martin Guitars and Folk Music Forever!

	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
