This nice "Blues" isn't a "Blues", but I love it the same.

The banjo you can see is not mine...unluckily! 
SuperParamount! from Veniero?
Great playing Marco, you sounded totally in control throughout the piece!
A lot of very tasty stuff go'en on there, Marco! Could be habit forming.
Paolo, yes it was. Laurence and Omeboy, thank you for your comments!

What about Veniero? He had some really astonishing instruments... I remember a wonderful Vega plectrum with five string (not a regular five string, it had all the five strings long as the neck and the fifth string peg in the center of the headstock)
Marco your playing is always Top!

Veniero passed away some years ago. His instruments have been sent to the States via a German collector. I suppose that his Vega #9 Deluxe is still in his wife's possession (it is the best banjo I ever played). I guess the 5string you wrote about is visible here https://banjoparadise.ch/product/vega-deluxe-ultra-77xxx/

I'm sorry about Veniero, I think he was quite old... I met him only once and you were there in Milan when we had that 'banjo meeting' years ago... I remember his wonderful instruments and the love he demostrated for them, maybe he wasn't always an 'easy going' person, but he really loved jazz and banjo music with all his heart!

''Wabash Blues'' was always popular with jazz bands here in Brisbane, but the verse was never included!. So, with thanks to you Marco, I've heard it for the first time, and enjoyed the listen.
Great playin' Marco, loved it!. ..... Don.
