Ahhhh, now it makes sense, I couldn't understand why folks were so worried about
dropping the bar that they would use the broccoli or lobster rubber bands...
I've got that old '60s stripped aluminum Dobro from Rudy's workshop; dents and
scratches to it are like petting your cat, it purrs because of them.
I may still use the band, I don't want to finger-flip the bar out into the
audience, or, heaven forbid, through a banjo head. But I also may just hold on
to it. We'll see.
