Hey, Matt.  Back for another listen and a message to you.   Do you have that ten you owe me?   Naw, 

I liked that banjer so much I looked for a round tin in my shed and none were to be found.  So I used a vintage cigar box and tooth picks (as you did).  Modern round tooth picks did not work well for me.  I got some old timey flat tooth picks  from a friend and they worked great.  I hope to string it up Wednesday or Thursday.  Also, may try 'Rhody' next time we play at a nursing home, which will be the 26th.

You are making that Chugger Banjo sing Matthew! Nice upbeat song! Great job.

Wow. That was fantastic Matthew. It reminded me of old Bob Dylan albums. That banjo seems to like the open air.
