First song my step brother ever taught me.

Another track from the new album to entice you to download the whole thing. Pay what you will. We guarantee you’ll like this collection of foot-stomping, knee-slappin, sea-shantyin’ shitkickers we recorded in our friend’s basement in Brooklyn.
Listen to this right now.
Banjo Back from the shop
^— click the title for the vid.
I took my banjo, which was a gift from my beautiful wife for Father’s day last year, to the shop for professional setup and tweaking. I just got it back, and it sounds AMAZING.
I’ve been playing the guitar for over 15 years and I thought I could set the banjo up myself, but I was not able to do it properly. Turns out there was a part of the neck that had to be tightened, and once that was done the thing sounds like a dream.

Working a song…
I don’t brag enough about my son, but I probably should. He went out onto the stage by himself. He didn’t want mom or dad there. He’s been learning to play the violin for just over 3 months now. He went out there on that big stage for his school’s talent show alone. I’m so terribly proud of him.
First, go grab some headphones. The best ones you’ve got. If the best ones you’ve got are these suckers (or something similar), you should really go buy new ones, but use the best you’ve got for right now.
Take a break from whatever you’re doing for 2 minutes and listen, but just listen to the whole thing, even if you have to multi-task.
Headphones on? Ok. Good.
Now, press play.
