00:02When it does the Junior Appalachian music, I think, all of everyone.
00:42Anyway, you guys are going to sit up here?
00:46Huh?
00:48What do I need?
00:49Well, you can't get right up here.
00:51Of course.
00:53Yeah, cool.
01:19We'll play that tonight at some point.
01:22Remember?
01:23Right.
01:24We wanted to play that yesterday.
01:25Just checking.
01:30So you all played here?
01:31Just last night?
01:32Where?
01:33You're over here.
01:34Sparta.
01:35That's the same, Sparta.
01:37Across the mercy.
01:38Sparta.
01:39Okay.
01:40There's a jam on Monday nights.
01:41Sparta.
01:42Okay.
01:44Bruce, are you from around here?
01:46I can be kind.
01:46I'm from south of here.
01:48Right by, right by where I live.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Nearly by.
01:53Like the next, we're neighbors.
01:56Except for your up on there.
01:58Down where it's hot.
01:59Yeah.
02:02It's a nice looking banjo.
02:04Did you ever build that banjo?
02:06Did you come up here and play?
02:07You did?
02:08Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Yeah.
02:23I made it.
02:24This is my first one.
02:26It's not as nice as yours.
02:28I didn't bring it either.
02:30I played.
02:32I think I played several minstrel banjos.
02:38And a couple of gold banjos.
02:43Got some couple of gold banjos in the process.
02:46Got a tack head banjo in a word.
02:54It's like a wooden rim with just a sand head, pull it down and tack the ground on it.
03:01It's kind of like a gourd batterer with a wooden rim.
03:07It's called a reconnoiter.
03:10How did you do the pot?
03:13I stained it, stained it, and bent it.
03:17I ripped it like that.
03:19I can't strip.
03:21Spin them around the floor.
03:23Then glue them together and clamp them and glue them together.
03:27I've got a 12-inch piece of pie.
03:34It works just perfect for a kitchen I have.
03:39I used that to set a half-inch thick, 12-inch inside dam.
03:46I just clamped it and glue it and make that three thicknesses.
03:52I'd like to try it that way.
03:54Next time I did the three octagons and then turned it.
04:00You got trees?
04:02You know what I mean?
04:02I don't have a way to turn.
04:04I have a light.
04:10You bought a boat from someone and then they wanted their boat back in.
04:17They started giving him all this stuff and putting a light through the boat.
04:21It was a real old light but I got it working and did a major on it.
04:25But you need a big light, that's the thing.
04:27You need a big light for 11.
04:28Yeah
04:38Mean that was probably better
04:58I tried to be in one piece
05:05and it's just so
05:08the warts and everything else
05:10and the joint and everything
05:12just didn't work
05:13and so I just started
05:16glamorizing
05:17and it steamed in
05:20I gotta figure what it's steamed in
05:23and then figured out
05:25the clamp system
05:26Yeah
05:27I had a clamp in there
05:29I got a couple rims made
05:33I haven't done anything
05:35with that
05:36Cool
05:38Yeah
05:40Did you put a tone ring in?
05:46Two tone rings
05:47Cool, oh yeah yeah
05:48Does that just sit on top of it
05:52or did you carve out a spot?
05:53Yeah, it sits on top of it
05:55Yeah, it just sits on top of it
05:57I didn't know what one was until I finished mine
05:59and then it wasn't loud enough
06:01and I took it into a shop
06:03That's why this one comes
06:04You just didn't have no body
06:08I don't have people get buying without a tone
06:11Me either
06:13I guess
06:13Well I took it into a shop
06:15and asked them for help
06:16and we made a hoop out of the coat hanger
06:22and put that in there for turning
06:24and I think it helped a little bit
06:26So they seem to be driving
06:28The first one I made
06:29I made with a
06:30I just took a piece of
06:33It's what I'm worried about
06:34It seems that they got that
06:35Copper ground, you know
06:39It's like a little inch diameter
06:40and I'm bending around
06:43and soldered it together
06:45and made it
06:45and just say don't drop
06:48the wooden pot
06:49That was my first
06:51I didn't have a white band
06:53So I went
06:55I played
06:56a little mud night with a group
06:58and they're loud
07:00and you can hear me
07:03It's still not great
07:10Play play in Kansas

07:13I don't live in Kansas anymore

09:24No
09:26That's alright
09:26I didn't count on that
09:28That's fine
09:28That's fine
09:29That's fine
09:29That's fine
09:30Drink
10:32That's where Malcolm is from.
10:36I'm here, too.
10:38I'm here, too.
10:40I'm here in North Carolina.
10:42No, I am. I'm more of that than me.
10:44Yeah, I think this happened before.
10:47It was boring.
10:49It was boring.
10:50My mom was always...
10:51I tend to kick my feet around.
10:53I know.
10:54Did you put trustful on everything in your neck?
10:57No.
10:58I just made mine fast.
11:00Same here?
11:02The first one I made...
11:03I've been here for three years.
11:04...are like a...
11:07...menstrual vangals...
11:07I mean, they're just...
11:08Well, who did you?
11:10Yeah.
11:10They're fine.
11:13So...
11:13I just...
11:14I just like...
11:15I just like the...
11:16I just like the...
11:17I just like the...
11:17...a bigger neck.
11:19And take that...
11:20It works to me better.
11:22Yeah, I kind of...
11:23The other thing that I did...
11:25Because I didn't really have anything to go on...
11:26Yeah.
11:27Pull a cord.
11:27And something that I noticed is that...
11:29All the other vangals that they come down...
11:31The strings are really close to the head.
11:33And it's hard for me to play out.
11:34Because on mine...
11:35I didn't angle the neck.
11:37It just goes straight out.
11:38Oh, okay.
11:38What do we do?
11:39And the strings are pretty high.
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:44I mean...
11:45I didn't work.
11:45That's one of those things...
11:49Um...
11:49I'm gonna...
11:51I'm gonna...
11:51I'm gonna spray it in here.
11:54Oh, man.
11:54And I'm...
11:55You know...
11:56I'm sitting with...
11:57I'm sitting with an angle.
11:59Yeah.
11:59And...
12:00That's the hardest part of me...
12:02Is getting this head...
12:03Getting the neck...
12:04And the...
12:04The pot.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Man together.
12:08Yeah, yeah.
12:08All right.
