Nice blog....even enjoyed the joke. I play 5-string banjo, but not nearly as good as guitar. I understand that you either love it or hate it. But I appreciate the banjo and the talent it takes to play Scruggs style. I learned from a dear friend that I went to school with, who was awesome. Deerings are really nice banjos....never dreamed they made that many. The Good Times are their basic, entry banjo. I wish I had done their tour (I probably would have had a little more appreciation for it than you did), but I give you and your wife a lot respect for taking the time to go. While you were there, which Deering did you buy for me? Did you know that Greg Deering and Bob Taylor are close friends and Bob built banjos? I think he claims to be a better banjo player than guitar player. But, maybe we are all lucky he stuck with building guitars. Thanks for the wonderful write up!
