    Yup, The King of Bluegrass liked to have a few.

    But he still was the king.

  • Tom's 1981 Gold Star and other Gold Star banjos made during the 1980s were built in Japan. The revived Gold Star line of banjos (starting 2004) sold by Saga Instruments, South San Francisco, California, are manufactured in the People's Republic of China.

  • According to Geoff Stelling on May 22, 2008, "I believe the banjo was a 1979 Bellflower, walnut, 3 piece neck, that was sent to or delivered by me to Jimmy when Shannon Mays was playing banjo for him." Tom Adams followed Shannon Mays in the succession of banjo players who worked for Martin.

  • Jimmy Martin - lead vocal, guitar; Charlie Cline - bass vocal, fiddle; Audie Blaylock - tenor vocal, mandolin; Tom Adams - baritone vocal, banjo; Brad Hudson - bass. Jimmy had an endorsement with the Stelling banjo company, so Tom is playing Jimmy Martin's Stelling rather than his 1981 Gold Star.
