Two popular ones are Songbook, and OnSong. I've tried both and prefer Songbook, but both are good.

Just FYI, that award-winning album is currently on Itunes for $7.00 :)

I saw Tom Petty a few years ago, and of course, he sang all his classics. The interesting part was that my seats were on the extreme left side of the stage, about even with Petty. From these seats,...

At Siminoff's camp he does a good talk on the differing qualities of the available glues, and we squeezed a dollop of each on a scrap of wood...some are still "soft" 6 months later. Roger checks in...

I recently made a new nut for my Duff, and on my first attempt cut a slot a bit too deep. On the next attempt, I stacked feeler gauges to the proper height just behind the nut and filed until I just...

I really like the Ingles stand, it's solid and stable, folds nicely and locks the instrument in well...here's one place to get it for a reasonable price:

Great report! I found it interesting that the Henderson "A" is still there...when I bought the Duff A model there, I liked the Henderson 2nd best of everything I played there! :)

Like a fool, I let my Duff slide off my lap onto the floor. The only damage seems to be the nut, which is cleanly broken. I have the piece, should I re-glue it or replace the whole nut? ...

Mark,
I just watched the video from session one and didn't notice anything unusual about the audio.

Bernie...that scroll looks so much better than the Ebay example it's hard to believe they came from the same factory. Maybe the other one melted during the refinish :)

I've owned several high-end (expensive) banjos in the past several years, and for my money, the Recording King Madison is a great value if you are looking for a resonator banjo. Here's one from one...

You are right, I should have said "commonly done" back in the day, when it wasn't strictly enforced.
Thanks

The listing was pulled :)

He just called me back for more questions, I told him again it was NOT a Gibson, but was a handmade copy, legal to make (back in the day) and legal to sell, just not as a Gibson.

I just had a phone conversation with the guys at the store selling the mandolin, they are guitar guys and the boss bought it as a genuine article. I explained some of the major tipoffs and they...

If it didn't "fit in" so perfectly with the music of the era, why did Burns choose it to play for almost 1 hour of the 11 hour series? It's the only contemporary song in the whole miniseries.

Being relatively uneducated in music theory, I have a question which parallels this thread...WHY does a song like Ashoken Farewell immediately bring to mind this era and style of music? Key, meter,...

Hmmm...that's the first time I've heard that...
Mike, does this account for the perceived differences in tone?

I highly recommend the Knilling Perfection pegs, they look and work great! FYI they DO come in different sized and a couple of styles, here is one:

Just think of the possibilities in the near future!

here is a thread on the KM850, reading through it there are several serial numbers tied to the history of the instruments, and some good info from Desert Rose on the history of the higher grade...

That's funny, I see a banjo, fiddle and upright bass, in addition to Skagg's mandolin. I agree about the song not being particularly "'grass", but I don't think anyone would argue that "Columbus...

Haha, just kidding! Great video from Skaggs/Hornsby/Kentucky Thunder :))

For some time we had a local trio called "Beatlegras", who put out a couple of albums. They not only played Beatle's songs, I believe they wrote original music which was very "Beatle-esq". They...
