Video blog: Banjo Paul & Tim shop for a 5 string banjo

Something new: a video blog

I had the fortunate experience of being asked to accompany my friend and banjo student Tim Slanczka in his quest to pick up a new banjo recently. We teamed up with my other good friend and banjo student Kathy Tuinhoff (Kathy works with Tim and the two of them are personal friends) as well as Tim’s wife Ellen, and the four of us made a day out of it.

See Tim’s decision making process

When Kathy emailed me the invite to join the two of them and Tim’s wife for this little outing, she happened to mention that it might be a good idea to bring along my camera to “document” the event. Well, the big light bulb immediately went off over my head, scaring my little lovebird (Mr. Hobson is his name) and I thought “you know, I should bring my camera and document this event!” I’m so glad I thought of it.

So grab some popcorn and your favorite foo-foo drink, press play, and sit back to enjoy the fun…
