One pluck won't get you hooked!"<BR/><BR/>On the other shoulder is your Dear Old Dad, miniaturized of course, dressed in his finest car-salesman white suit whispering, "Such a deal. The best banjo pound for pound that you can buy. And for a short time only...we'll throw in this 'Welcome to Cheasapeake Bay" t-shirt. Patrick won't miss it!"<BR/><BR/>It is hard on a man when both the imps and seraphins are urging him towards a new banjo. But, I also have a full sized checkbook with an Arnold Schwarzenegger grip on my finances sitting on my lap saying with a slight Austrian cadence, "Feed your musical soul or feed the children of your mortgage banker. Hasta la Vista, dinero contante!"<BR/><BR/>So, thank you for the offer. I'll have to think about it. If I can only get all these extra voices in my head to be quiet for a bit.<BR/><BR/>-al<BR/><BR/>ps....painting you as the devil and your father as an angel in no way should be taken to imply that I think one of you represents the dark side and the other the light. I think you are both banjo saints!<BR/><BR/>pss...my Spanish is terrible and if I accidentally just insulted Ms.Trudy's little dog, I apologize for that also. I love little dogs!Al Gunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06147832028584159376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19364023.post-35405022499857430012008-12-26T18:50:00.000-07:002008-12-26T18:50:00.000-07:00We'd love to have you stop by.

If you can't do that, why not take part in one of the "banjo tours"? <BR/><BR/>Give us a call and I'll get Dear Old Dad to fit you into the S-2 or S-3 tour.<BR/><BR/>-PatrickPatrick Costellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998431172461605436noreply@blogger.com
