Great Stuff!

Agreed wholeheartedly Jim.

Thanks Wes! Yeah Richey, we had stickers made to put on our cases saying "I tied for 6th"  I don't really like the idea of competitions between musicians so we look at it like an opportunity to demonstrate stuff even when we're a few notches below the top guys. The fun of it is where we are!

Well, at least you're consistent! I think we'd all agree you're our number 1 banjo player on CBN :-)

Thanks much everyone. I spent a week camped out and playing music at this festival and got to meet and jam with some great folks. Wayne Erbsen wrote the instructional books I use with students and I played tunes with him and his daughter Annie. It was great to be able to thank him in person for his helpful books.

Yeah Richey, I tied for 6th again along with 50 other folks who didn't make the top 5. I made all the instruments in this vid except for the banjo which was made by Pete who's playing it.

Wonderful and inspiring.

Absolutely wonderful Jim! Did you make all the instruments or do your bandmates make their own too?

...and how did you do in the banjo contest??

Thanks SlowHound. Rick Pegg on bass is a St Mary's Co. guy who still consults at PAX but lives in WV.
