Lots of talking but also singing, strumming, and a book.

It's Brilliant! You are going to have a little fun with that Banjo. Sounds great!
If you want to muffle it a little- a rolled up washrag between the dowel and the head (I like it best at the top of the head) will do the trick It does sound great on the mike here though- I have to muffle mine because I have very little self control whilst strumming.
I find the addition of new ukes (ocassionally) is the perfect way to maintain the energy and enthusiasm for lots of practice. Enjoy.
Dave,
Thanks! I am glad you let me know what you think of the sound! In the review of the Eddy Finn vs. Lanakai, it said the Lanakai had a "mellow" sound as opposed to the Eddy Finn "bright" sound. I liked the idea of the mellow sound (plus the pretty antique-looking hardware). I will definitely keep in mind about the washcloth (are you from the South? Grandma always used to say "washrag" ).

Aloha J,
Welcome back...woo hoo you look so comfortable in front the cam..nothing like a new uke or banjo and book to get back in the groove again...loved the video...have fun and enjoy
your new banjo..happy strummings..
Cool banjo uke ! Nice playing and singing too !
Haha- yeah, the tone is warm on that little bugger- as for the south, nope, born and raised in California...
That Lanakai sounds great. Ditto what TCK said about the washrag I have one on my Goldtone banjo uke and also installed a wright banjo mute/tone enhancer. By sliding it close to the bridge, I can muffle the sound with the banjo mute to the point where I could play it at 3am and not disturb anyone if I want to. Slide it back towards the tailpiece for full volume. There is another mute called "corky" that is the same thing made out of wood instead of metal.
