Hey, I entered a video into a competition to play on stage with Weezer at Madison Square Garden. Would be cool to win, but I'm not sure I was able to bring my A game.

At any rate, please comment on this video and rate it high if you can. I'm not sure that will factor into the judges decision, but it can't hurt.

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

Certainly Jerry! and I'll do one better and give you the personal account at HSB the week after...

And yes, that banjo came out wonderfully... best investment ever. Tom Nechville really did do a great job on it. I never actually posted photos once I got it, so here they are:

Really nice Adam, did you have any custom adjustments done? I think it would be so great to have an instrument custom fit to you so the ergonomics are just right.
Love the inlay work on the neck, what kind of wood is that? Really nice. Flower

Hope you have big fun at MSG, keep yer eyes wide open YEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW horsey horsey horsey Sunshine Clap Clap

Nothing custom as far as ergonomics go, mostly just the choice of woods and options.

The body and neck are both maple
the figured top of the body is walnut
the fingerboard is cocobolo (brazillian rosewood)
inlay upgrade
pickup upgrade to emg81
tunneled 5th string (so that the 5th string tuner is at the top with the rest of them
and rmc piezo pickups for each string so that it is midi capable

As for keeping my eyes wide open, I tend to play with my eyes closed, so that might be tough! :-p
