I just thought I'd post this from the Intro, in case any of you missed the thread next door & wondered how & why we suddenly have a Banjo Backdrop. ... not a bad name for a tune! 
Forum's New Background Image
The photo of those wonderful looking Banjos, which we now use for the background to this Forum, is of a Banjo made in Denmark by Johannes Bonefaas. As you can see, this new image makes it much easier to read all those little link words. For your information, the original photo looked like this.
However, Johannes gave us permission to adapt it to suit our forum, so our resident image magician, Jesper Deleuran, tweeked it and I must say, I think it looks pretty darn good.
If you would like to learn more about Johannes & his Banjos, you should check out his website:
JB Banjo - Johannes Bonefaas - Denmark
So thanks to Johannes for his permission, Jesper for his handy-work & Kristian for suggesting the change in the first place.
Forum's New Title Bar Image
While I was at it, I decided to change the Title Bar image too. So I thought you might like to know that the Fiddle in the Title Bar was made by James Beatley of Dublin.
I play one of his excellent Fiddles, so it's appropriate that it features on this Forum.
James has been a full time Luthier since 1995, which is when he started working towards his Diploma in Violin making and repair at the Newark School of Violin Making (N.S.V.M.) England.
So if your in the market for a new, or 2nd hand, Fiddle ~ you should give James a call.
James Beatley - Dublin, Ireland
Now, let them wagons roll .......................
