Ode To Joy - Long Neck banjo - Michael Johnathon

Michael Johnathon plays the banjo solo near Henry David Thoreau's cabin site in Walden Woods. That's a specially designed Vega long neck banjo modeled after Pete Seeger's banjo, made by Greg Deering. The clip is from the closing credits of the film, 'Walden: the Ballad of Thoreau"

A sweet tone is great.

The banjo of a long neck and a black head are great.

Loev this song and banjo. He kinda reminds me of Earl Hickey from the show "My name is Earl".

Very very nice, I am really wanting one of these long necks after days of listening to traditional folk. Mark

Pete Seeger is one of my heros, I think Michael is like a modern Pete Seeger. Love the show.
