MADE TO LAST - This sparkling new offering features many bluegrass classics to-be. Four really fine performances of Elliott Rogers’ compositions, “Wave Goodbye,” “Little Teardrops,” “From the Penthouse to the Poorhouse,” “Haul Away,” and two by Bill Honker gems, “Made to Last,” and “Above the Waterline.” I offer a couple of new instrumentals with the steaming versions of “Traditional Family Breakdown,” and “The Run of ‘89”. Steve Smith, accompanied with unsurpassed mandolin styling, sings a song of love lost with “Fool’s Gold,” and soars on the bad man ballad “John Hardy.” Nate Lee on fiddle shines as no other on all the cuts and offers a twin fiddle arrangement of the Bill Monroe classic “Brown County Breakdown.” Bluegrass Made To Last.
Wave Goodbye • Fool’s Gold • Traditional Family Breakdown • Made To Last • Little Teardrops • Brown County Breakdown • Above the Waterline • John Hardy • Penthouse to the Poorhouse • The Run of ’89 • Haul Away • What’s So Good About Goodbye?

Dear Banjo Picker,
I began the mail order business many years ago but it has been dormant for the last several years. I have decided to get back into the business in a rather small way for now.
The business is truly of the cottage variety. Many of the tab items are self- produced without the aid of a computer, although some are published through Mel Bay and look right nice. I like to say of the self-produced tab, it's in my handwriting but you will learn to love it (that's my hope). Some of the CDs are self-produced (quality, studio produced bluegrass). As I progress and get more time, I will upgrade and blast into the 1990s and get better at computer programs. Until then I hope you find some things that will bring you joy both as a listener and a student of the banjo.
