The Marionettes frolic First banjo (A.J. Weidt)

A new tune with my "new" SS Stewart Thoroughbred. This one belongs to the book "Weidt´s elementary studies for banjo". Actually, it is really amazing to play a 100 years old tune in a 120 years old banjo!

Excellent German.

I can see that your new SSS banjo is keeping you occupied.  Now that you have a quailty Classic Banjo take a warning from us all about the dreaded BAS (banjo acquisition syndrome), before it is too late.

Soon you will start to think that perhaps another banjo may just sound a bit better on the bass notes...  or maybe have a bit brighter treble... or maybe a slightly wider fingerboard would feel nicer... or a wood hoop would be great... or a bit more/ less MOP may be nice.

Then it will be too late you will have a house full of banjos...  isn't that correct everyone?

Thanks Ian and Marc, the Stewart is just amazing! and I am starting to think about it just like Gollum did it in the Middle Earth ("my precious"). Concerning to the BAS, I am afraid it is too late, and right now I am saving (again!) for another banjo. I guess I am trying to create a BAS outbreak here in Colombia in order to have someone else to play the banjo :)

I will follow the advice of a bard I met some days ago: the solution is playing more tunes! Any suggestions?
