Did you use to work at MusicFolk in St. Louis?
You might be inadvertently responsible for me taking up the banjo. I don't remember who shoved a banjo in my hands there, but it was quite awhile back. Didn't buy it, but fell in love with it. It was an Alvarez with all the dots on it. Still wish i'd bought it. thanks for the memory. Funny who you might not know you influenced.....
