Do you play banjo?

There are some videos with Stephen Stills playing banjo, I wonder if your BIL’s hand crafted banjo can be seen in any of the videos?

SS is on Twitter, you might try to ask him directly there, although I get the impression he doesn’t often answer questions.

i have a lovely old 70's gibson. still trying to get my arms around it.
i think i will ask him. i'll let you know if he answers. i'm sure i'd recognize it, tho i've never seen that one. but they were ebony and mop masterpieces.

A few photos of his impressive collection of beautiful guitars, with which he created the amazing music that has so blessed us all.

Perhaps he will treat us to a photo of his banjo collection, as well, and perhaps that banjo might be seen in the collection!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope you will be able to learn banjo and guitar both some day! Creative pursuits make us so happy!

Music in the late 60s was so amazing and it met so many of my emotional and spiritual needs both as a child and all throughout my life.

I haven’t always had a car, or a bed even, but I have always had music to listen to. Priorities.

Could tell in the photo if it is one of your BIL’s hand made banjos?
