Just thought you all should be aware, in case you hadn't heard it elsewhere. It's been the buzz lately with banjo players. They have pretty much closed down, and are going out of business. Details are sketchy, but it does appear to be real.

Formerly known as Janet Davis Acoustic Music, and more recently as JD Music Company (after Janet sold it to the current owners), it was a long-time source of lots of musical stuff. I had shopped there several times, though I was by no means a major customer. Weren't they a Cafe sponsor too? Anyway, their sales have been in decline for a number of years, and the current owners may not have pumped enough energy into it. I dunno. But for whatever reason, the doors are being shuttered, so to speak.
Their website still appears to be active: http://jdmc.com/ But I'm hearing that they have canceled lots of customer orders. If you're shopping around, you should definitely check with them before placing any orders. They *might* still be selling off things that they have in stock, but I really couldn't say. Check with them and verify.
Sad to see them go.
