I got my first 5 string banjo in about 1962 when my father bought me a John Grey which I still have but which is no longer playable because it spent too many years lying neglected in lofts. I am pictured here on the nose of Catflap playing a 5 string travel banjo built for me by Phil Davidson in about 2003. It is tuned to open A, (being a,E,A,G*,E) rather than open G (being gDGBD).
In 2007 I bought the 1924 Gibson Snakehead mandolin pictured here.
