Ran into Ron and the 'Cars while Magnolia Drive was working Uncle Pen Days at Bean Blossom last Saturday. He was kind enough to give my Yates a "once-over". He checked the head to make sure it was around G# and neutralized the coordinator rods (I had been monkeyin' around with 'em). Hadn't played this banjo much since February when I acquired my '29 TB-3 conversion (what an awesome 5!), but you can bet I'll be using the Yates more now that RS "tweaked" her good!

Ron, Thanks for your help and good luck at the IBMAs tomorrow! Hope yall take 'em all!
