A check-in on the Banjo versus TV project — J.R.'s ongoing plan to spend more time on his banjo than on TV. This post covers 9/13/2009 through 9/19/2009.
I made that decision and went to the National Jug Band Jubilee in Louisville, Kentucky. I had a most excellent time.
The lineup was terrific. I took lots of pictures.
 Lost Shoe String Band (Bloomington, IN) |  Pholly (Noblesville, IN) |
 Deep Fried Pickle Project (Coloma, MI) |  Y'uns (Knoxville, TN) |
 Smokin' Fez Monkeys (Akron, OH) |  Old Southern Jug Blowers (Japan) |
 Devine's Jug Band (San Francisco, CA) |  Juggernaut Jug Band (Louisville, KY) |
 Earl McDonald memorial |  Jug band workshop |
Update 10/17/2009:
Arlo Leach has posted a nice video from the post-Jubilee, late-night jam session.
That's my washboard that Peter Menta ("Washboard Slim") is playing. He makes it sound good!
Also in the last week:

So I'm starting to move parts between them with the plan of turning four troubled banjos into three good ones.
