My brand new "Old" Bacon & Day Special #1 Tenor Banjo

After years of not playing, I decided I was going to get the best Bacon & Day banjo (ca 1929) I could get (afford LOL) and I absolutely love it. So I'm sharing a little of my joy playing "Five Foot Two"

It's actually almost the same chords as "the Charleston", if you notice it..

You know .. I was thinking the same thing.
