If George does end up building one for you, you should get him to do it with the stencil work found on this Boucher: http://banjodatabase.org/ViewMoreImages.asp?ID=224&imgtype=unde...

This detail is particularly nice.

I was just admiring the double head Bouchers on the database, and you're playing one of them.  Jealous.  Oh, so jealous. 

Also by coincidence, Mrs. Silas wondered - today - if I'd be interested in some tickets to a show at the Seattle Zoo in a couple weeks by some group she's never heard of.  Someone cannot make the show and was unloading a pair of tickets within my kid's homeschool community.  When I heard who the group was, I said, "Get the tickets.  Now."  She got 'em.  So, please, play something minstrel.  A walkaround.  A jig.  A breakdown.  I don't care.  I'd be nice to hear an old minstrel standard in a new venue.  Blame it on That Devil Silas.

Well we usually have a pair of minstrel tunes in the set but i don't know if i will be able to fly with my gourd banjo - the case i had made for it isn't here yet!  fingers crossed!
