Sha-banjo!

Lest I forget that the purpose of building instruments is to make music...

I can listen to Travis Brink's stuff all day long. I wanted to be him when I saw his take on Dirk Powell's chilling Waterbound (note: he made the banjo in that one, too). His solo picking and singing are excellent and full of soul. I don't think anyone makes better use of the space between the notes.

Here he dials it back just right to accompany his super sweet, talented daughter. If you like this, don't miss their family original, Many A Masterpiece.
