How could this thing wind up at Goodwill, and i didn't think Goodwill posted ebay auctions...??Does anyone recognize this banjo or know who owned it?:…See More

New Minstrel Music
There is a new publication coming out this summer with 50 new Early Banjo songs in TAB. It is similar to the old Tutors.....just more of it.
