Several decades ago when our Thursday evening jam sessions were convened in the basement of a local hardware store, a tradition was established regarding the arrival of brand new musical instruments. Whenever a picker introduced a new stringed instrument to the get-together, it was required that the proud owner provide a celebratory ice cream treat for the group. Recently, our banjo picker had a fancy new pot and resonator applied to his 5-stringer. This was deemed sufficient to warrant an ice cream break in the evening assembly which had gathered despite a wintry snow storm outside.
Surrounded by smiling faces, our banjo picker showcases his newly upgraded instrument after a pause in the evening`s music and song for an ice cream treat.
From the BRC: In the traditional spirit of Gobbler`s Knob, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, have a happy Groundhog Day. Springtime cannot be far away.
