Awww man, the whole family got covid. I’m so sorry to hear that, but thoughts and prayers everyone makes a swift and full recovery.
And the banjo lights are cool! Can you actually play it with those in there? Cuz you just might have to post us a Christmas video…

Sorry that your family has “the rona” as the kids in school here say. Prayers for a full recovery. The lights are pretty awesome–I’m guessing battery.

@Simone I need to make some additional modifications as lights somehow affect it staying in tune. Also, they kind of muzzle the sound a little. But, thanks for the prayers! We’re doing fine - son had a fever for about a day. The rest of us felt like we had a mild cold.

That is excellent! Absolutely brilliant!
I saw a battery powered set of lights that responded to music (might have been at walmart). I am thinking Ben needs to buy a monopoly share of those for sale at the General Store for next Christmas.

So, the choir director at my church saw the banjo lights & asked me to play a couple songs for the Christmas Eve service. (Lots of fun) Anyway, the lights in the above picture were touching the banjo head & really muffled the sound (even though they looked cool). So, I removed the lights and secured them to the resonator and kept them from touching the head. I also attached them to the outside rim of the resonator. Anyway, when I made the change, the sound was unaffected & the banjo sounded like “normal.” “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house . . . some redneck was trying to figure his banjo lights out.”
