Thought of all the banjo hate out there....

What do you call the gift of a $400 banjo ? Answer : An inferior tomato stake.

What do you call a shipwreck with a cargo of 5,000 banjos lying on the bottom of Lake Erie? Answer : A good start.

And so it goes.....

As for the restoration video, a fellow sunday school congregant restored an old banjo for a co-worker of his nephew. Uncle Mac as we call him only charged the guy for replacement tuners, strings, skin and fretwire.....No labour......Many hours spent. The bill for parts from the luthier supply house was something like $130. The guy who owned the now restored banjo sent uncle mac two jacksons. $40 ! and complained that he never imagined it would cost so much to repair.
