Joel-You sent me two sets of two picks. But, I think you only charged me for one. Could you please double check the sunshinewave order. And, if you've only charged me once can I send them back to the PO Box on the envelope?

Yes!
Is this Tad the banjo player who entertained Texans in the 1880's, between poker games and gunfights?

I am working on frailing lately, but joined this site to see what I could learn re 1800's music.
