This was fantastic. A very nice performance on a great little instrument. I've watched it over a dozen time now. It really showcases what a dojo can do. I love it. It is unique -- comprising the melodic qualities of the banjo and sustain of a resonator. I belive it would be very vestatile. Are you still playing this thing? Any chance of some new videos?

Thank you. I sold the one shown here, (I have a music shop) But Have another just like it. If I ever get some free time I'll post some more. TR

Hey Tony, It's been a couple of months since I watched this video, but just watched it again now and was blown away all over again. You really are the master and it is just a lovely tune played very very well. I can't praise you enough. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Steve.

It's sort of like certain foods, tastes better if you don't eat it every day! Thank you very much for your comment. TR

I love it. If only I could play half as good as that, I would be happy. I'm still struggling with the banjo, learning to play. I may have waited to late in life - 64. This can be my next instrument. Put some more videos with the dojo.

Thank you. It's never too late, keep picking. TR

@phillbjo I think it sounds like a banjo with a bad cold! TR

Hey Tony I have one of these and its great for recording the more romantic type stuff than the banjo itself. Although I'm a banjo nut (only have 12 now) this dojo is great and gets some weird looks when you play it in folk clubs Phill UK :)

Hey Tony, fine job on that tune. I guess I didn't realize you could play anything with strangs. Years ago you set up my new $300.00 1988 Sigma DR2 over at Green Acres at a festival. That was when Talmadge Law and Clarence Yoder were involved with the park. That Sigma is still the best guitar I've owned, and I still have it. I bought and soon sold a 1993 Martin HD 28 Custom 15 cause it didn't suit me. You are the guy to go to even if it's a cigar box with balin wire..Stan Bennett...St. Joe, Mi.

My Dad always loved this song. He would have loved your interpretation. Good job!

Folks, he has one for sale. You need one... Jack
