Hello, just a couple of verses of Colin Meloy's " Rise to Me " off " The King is Dead " album what an amazing song, written for his son, who has autism....if you haven't heard this, check out "The Decemberists" wonderful group. I stuffed a sock between the dowel stick and the banjo head, and wrapped a piece of leather around my index finger to soften up the banjo sound. thanks for watching cj
