A young feller asked me, about 40 years ago, if he could learn 5-string banjo. I told him: If you can tap yer foot in time to any kind of music, whistle a tune, or sing along with a tune--then yes he could learn banjo. Fast forward 20 years from that time. He found me leaning against a tree at a Bluegrass festival, sat down, and told me he had learned it well. I saw him on stage that weekend, and yes--he had become famous in the local bluegrass scene. If you are sincere in learning, DO NOT buy a cheap banjo! The sound that emanates from it will be bad, and make ya want to give it up! Check on the "Good time" banjos. They are well made, and a good beginner banjo. The ones at a pawn shop will drive ya to drink, unless it is a Gibson, or a Gold Star, and older ones at that. I bought a Gold Star Banjo about 30 years ago, from a college kid, who almost cried when i handed him $450 for it, with a good hard shell case. Right now, i play it twice a week, at jam sessions, etc. And, i keep a good watch on it, wherever i go. Google "Good time Banjos", and read what they say and show in their ads. They even give picking tips in their online web-site! Remember a half hour every evening, in a room by your self, is much better than trying to practice when other folks are sitting around, watching you make mistakes, and belittling your practice. Also--check for CD's by Flatt and Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Bill Clifton, and other grass artists from the past. Or, old LP's, if you still have that old record player. HTH: Rusty Jones

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
