Quickly Losing Faith in BHO Readers!

Wednesday, November 30, 2022 @2:45:59 PM

Thanks for checking this blog.  - Especially if you read my recent post under "Banjo Setup and Repair" which explains how to improve the volume and sound quality of your banjo with a simple paper business card and some Scotch Tape to stick it to the side of the banjo's prg head.  An simple explanation of why it works was included.

Not surprisingly, readers of the post were highly skeptical or thought that I was crazy, even though this is such an easy thing to prove at very little expense, even if one doesn't already have a business card and the type of tape required.  ( The tape is Scotch Brand High Gloss Transparent Tape which probably cost less than $3 at your local supermarket or hardware store).  The post was dated 29 Nov 2022 if you want to read it.

The post was based on a recent (largely accidental) discovery of mine, probably hundreds of experiments. my six patents related to musical sound, my BS from West Point and MS Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California,  several years of teaching Mechanical Engineering to West Point Seniors, 26 years of experience as a professional solo tenor banjo entertainer and 73 years experience playing the tenor banjo,  (I'm 85).

My last post on Nov 39, 2022 was my final explanation and, as before, almost all comments were negative and absurd expressions of disbelief with very few questions.  It is no wonder why banjo players in general are portrayed as lacking common  sense.

I've decided not to waste my time posting  my future discoveries on BHO.
