Hi mheffinger1 !

That's right : I use to play the banjo in my own way , which is different in comparison to the styles of most banjo-pickers.I hope you like it , because it is rather unique , I believe.My instrument may look older to you than it actually is : it is an Iida dating from the beginning of the eighties and it was made in Japan. Anyway, thanks for your reaction and..keep playing and listening!

I notice that you have created your own lick and if that's what works for you and keeps you pickin, more power to ya! Out of curiosity, what's the lineage of your Banjo? It has the looks of being something very old, nice, and rare...
