Just returned from our vacation back to the States. We rented a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and as I was able to bring my Tranjo on the trip, I did some picking myself on the porch, surrounded by the beauty of The Great Smoky Mountains.

We drove the loop in historic Cade's Cove, and when we stopped at one of the old abandoned log houses, I grabbed the Tranjo from the car and sat on the porch to pick. I was halfway through Blue Ridge Cabin Home when a car pulled up and an older couple got out and walked up the path, giving me a round of appreciative applause, my first "public" performance on the five-string!

I also played it in Lexington Kentucky at Keenland Race Track, and in each hotel room we had, from Lexington, KY, to our rental cabin in Gatlinburg, TN, to Washington DC.

I can say that the Tranjo is a great travel banjo. I had no problem carrying it on as carry on baggage on domestic as well as international carriers, and it always fit in the overhead bin, even on small regional jets. I am so happy to have a banjo I can take with me no matter where I go.

As part of my effort to photograph my Tranjo in every clime and place, here are links to some pictures.
