a free banjo album, sort of

http://jerusalemmules.bandcamp.com/album/jerusalem-mules-lofi-and-l... here is a link to a free download of a 7 song ep all played on a 3 stringed cookie tin banjo I made a few months ago. I was pretty happy with how much my little tin sounded like a banjo. It was not as hard to build as I thought it was going to be. The cookie tin made the construction a lot easier than trying to stretch a head skin and other things I do not have the skill to do. Anyway, the band camp site is pretty easy to use and I really like the results. Hope you will listen and maybe enjoy

Thanks so much, I had a lot of fun making it. The whole band camp thing is easy to use and the site looks really cool when it is all done. The banjo was easy to build and I am pretty happy with the sound. I appreciate your comments
