I previously mentioned that I’ve played banjo for many years. When I was first taking lessons I saw a very pretty Fender Concertone banjo at the music store. The asking price was $1,000. (This was around 1972). I remember saying to my dad I would never pay that much for banjo. It was a crazy amount of money. My banjo at that time had been paid for with S&H Green Stamps. (more…)
