Comment by Dave Lynas on November 10, 2017 at 12:25am: Way lucky Vinnie. Pluck yer Magic twanger Vinnie! Love the banjo play Jim.

Comment by Richard Sundberg on November 9, 2017 at 4:02pm: You continue to play above you very high standards Jim! Other than Bella Fleck, don’t know much about banjo. Sounds great, and I enjoyed the plugged in portion. It had a beautiful smooth ringing delcimer tone, great for Christmas and Winter cheer songs. What is the friction pegs purpose? The video is tops Jim!
