Well, we missed it by "that much". National Banjo Day was yesterday, but we were busy tuning and let it slip by. By the way, do you know how many banjo players it takes to screw in a light bulb?
Just one, they just hold their hand up on bulb and the world Revolves around them! ....kinda like during tuning...

Music is the universal language. And just like languages, there are lots of dialects. Banjos provide one dialect to communicate with. It's about connection!

I was able to pick up this Red Maple Log today that has a lot of indications for Birdseye Maple. I'm hoping to get this quarter sawn up for some nice banjo necks. Also, while down in the area, I picked up my first batch of rebar for the foundation work I'll be starting soon for the new shop.

Hi everyone, today was a lazy day here because the cold kept us inside. While I don't have a shop yet, I am making plans for its rebirth. One of the things I have put off too long was to get the galleries on the website updated with pictures. I had several models left off the list for a couple years and, today, I was able to go through everything and get them back up to date. There is one more banjo not listed in the galleries that I never took pictures of. It was a Little Birdie model, so if you're curious what it looked like, just take a look at a different serial number. The person who bought it lives here in Ava, so I may see if I can borrow it to get a few pictures. I have also opened up commenting on the pages so if you all are interested in giving feed back you can. Thank you

The old Snowbird Banjo Youtube account is now abandoned due to not having the old phone number anymore and I am unable to access that account. Feel free to Subscribe to this new account. I threw a few of the old videos up there just hold a place until I can start sharing again. I am probably going to do some videos on the new shop build.
