He sorta left it mostly as dealers choice. They make amazing things so let them do what they do. Jeff has a fretless OME banjo too. Both are fantastic.
You just taught me something...”lede” and what “buried the lede” even means! Wow...this is something I always wondered about. Something I should have known all these years. Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Sorry, captain! Welcome to the ever growing club. "COULD BE WORSE" is also a great title for the album of covers I am going to pester you about, like Arrow, until you realize I'm right. The WAPO did a story about the dwindling number of people who havent gotten it yet, and during their reporting one of the subjects tested positive. So, you did your best. Hugs and drink LOTS OF WATER.
I'm sorry that you're sick, but glad you can find humor within. <3
I feel like you might want to work up a cover of Annie Lennox's "Broken Glass" on the banjo. Maybe tweak the words a little to "Swallowing some, Swallowing some broken glass"...
It should be noted that that gorgeous banjo was made for Jeff by the wonderful people at the family owned OME Banjo company, Boulder Colorado!
Yay it's Mark!
Tell us more, please.
Never mind the banjo, that chair is a thing of beauty.
It has a beautiful bridge. Did Jeff choose the wood for the arm rest? I'd really like to hear its sound. Soon I hope.

She sure is purty!
Oh, and I buried the lede! The model name is “Tupelo”.
I guess I need to make the photo captions bigger.
Ha! Missed it. Where are my damn glasses….
If it was a snake, it would have bit me. Just remember, some of us have old eyes and the attention of a gnat. 🥴
Actually, it’s lede Mark.
Noted and corrected! Plus I think NELS is a great lede guitarist.
🤭😂🤣 ba-da-bump-BING! 🥁

I was today years old when I learned about it too! 😂
Right!? I have heard that phrase before but never cared to look it up. I imagined it had something to with fishing...oddly. I feel so educated today.
Awesome!! 🪕❤️🪕❤️🪕❤️
No way!
Mountain music!
A sense of humor is far more valuable than a sense of taste.
I cry at the joke explained.
See what I did there?

Jeff: I have a clawhammer
Dr. : sorry, I’m not a podiatrist
From the Big Book of Banjo Jokes:
"Doctor, if I have COVID does that mean I'll be able to play the banjo? That's funny, I never could before."
"What's the definition of a gentleman of wealth and taste? He can play the banjo, but chooses not to."
"What's the definite of perfect pitch? You don't hit either side of the dumpster when you toss the banjo in."
(I think that today's broken glass theme will be turning up in a song in the not-too-distant future...get better soon!)
Annie Lennox has the jump on that. But that was walking, not swallowing.
How to Learn Banjo. 5/10/2019
The first step to banjo
Is to be with the banjo
And know nothing about it,
To admit that you are helpless
And to come to it as a child.
You have to put aside all your
Presumed wisdom and intellect and desire
To be a great (or even barely decent) banjo player
Before you will be able to hear it speak.
One day the boundary between
You and the banjo will start to dissolve.
Go with that.
And you will be with the banjo.
And the banjo will teach you what to do.
You will be a missing child
Lost in the woods on a cold night
Taken care of by bears.
Hey Jeff, Hit me up for a Zoom banjo lesson if you're interested! I'm the author of "Banjo For Dummies," so you'll be in great hands! :)
Don’t call Jeff a dummy especially while he’s already down w COVID 🥸
Feel better, Cap. The banjo is a fine way to keep people away from you. At least that’s what I’ve found. Hope the rest of the family is doing well.
We need an On This Day to commemorate rhe bathtub anniversary party!
Here's to a quick recovery. But I hope the side effect of improved banjo playing lingers.
I was hearing the call-and-response banjo of “Deliverance “ in my mind along with your doctor banter.
Treat yourself to many servings of Chicago’s finest ice cream to soothe your shard-y throat. Consider that a prescription from your fans.
Hope you feel better, Captain. Perhaps you will be fortunate to develop long-haul banjoism.
I'm sorry that you're sick, but glad you can find humor within. <3

Thank God it’s only banjo — coulda been bagpipes. Feel better!
Hoping that you Shake It Off quickly. Looking forward to hearing banjo demos
