Hi @Tom3
Fashion item, I think it had something to do with wearing cowboy hats on TV. Earl did it and everyone else followed suit. It’s no easy task supporting a heavy banjo on your right shoulder. Try it!

Yep, @Archie is correct here. It’s definitely more comfortable for me and most banjo players to wear it over the left shoulder.
