The Fretboard Journal: news on banjos

Thanks again to Cathal Cusack for a look at the latest news from the Fretboard Journal - easily accessible on the FJ's own blog.

Editor Jason Verlinde says of Jim Mills's new book Gibson's original Mastertones: 'I’m no vintage banjo expert but I can’t put this book down.' Almost certainly the ideal Christmas present for any banjo player in your life.

Jim Mills, when not collecting and writing about vintage banjos, plays with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and has won the IBMA Banjo Performer of the Year award six times.
