note: Learning the words and singing along (out loud or in my head) helps me make the tune and timing sound 'right'. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| note: Check out the Steve Davis head tension method with a 10" ruler and coins if a DrumDial isn't handy. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| "A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame or money, but even practices it without any hope of doing it well." G. K. Chesterton ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| - Take a length of seatbelt webbing for the shoulder (long enough to reach from hook over should to hook) - Stitch a longer length of soft 3/4" - 1" webbing to the seatbelt webbing (long enough to go round the banjo over the shoulder and tie together) note: bar tack at the ends of the wider strap and stitch between - Gently melt the ends of the webbing to prevent fraying. Do not be vigorous about melting the ends; the hard melted plastic is scratchy and inconvenient. - Add a pad to suit. I have yet to need or want one. - run the narrow webbing thru the hooks in a cradle fashion - tie the ends of the narrow webbing together with a square knot Simple yet elegant. This is better than perfect; it's adequate. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Musical instruments bring discord and peace; the trick is in the harmony.
