Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2023
- Made from a Kuba Deluxe cigar box with a 6" salad bowl insert that has a goatskin head stretched and tacked on. Walnut neck with oak center strip. Sandy Boys is an old fiddle tune played out of A modal tuning.
Thanks! 😎
Love the sound and the song, Jim! 🪕🪕🎼🎼
Thanks Sue!
wonderful playing
grand sound
What an ingenious way to build the resonator
I learn so much from you
Thanks for your kind words!
I love this endlessly, just right before sleep💕🐴✌
Thank you and goodnighr!
Another beaut, Jim.
Simple call and response lyrics from a recording by my former teacher and his band:
“Oh, Sandy Boys
Sandy Boys, Sandy Boys
Oh, Sandy Boys!”
x2, B part*
*variation that has the chord progression I IV, I IV in the second and sixth measures.
Thanks Noah. Yup, sometimes I switch back and forth between those two B parts just for fun.

Hey, Jim. That's a nice tune well played. That's also a smart way to get a banjo sound out of a wooden box, and no rim to make. Great idea.
Thanks John. Yessir, if I can re use stuff and not have to make it from scratch, I'm a happy fellow!
@@morbanjo2503 a lot of musicians could take a life lesson from you. They are so fussy about their gear that I don’t think they enjoy themselves very much. Discontent can be a horrible thing.
@johncalkin7423 That's right, John. As you can see, it doesn't take a lot to make me content!
@@morbanjo2503 I’m working on that myself, Jim
Cool! Nice use of that box. The resonator really adds that banjo twang too! Looking forward to seeing you next Saturday!
Thanks Lou. See you in York!
Fabulous as always. Just curious--how many banjos do you think you've built since you started?
Thanks Stephen. I haven't kept meticulous records, but I think this one makes something like 50 something.
That thing sounds great, Jim. Now take those stickers off the box and put them on your forehead.
Thanks Unc. Good idea!
Thanks Unc. The surgeon general's warning on my forehead would be fitting.
