Greyhounds are odd animals, and many of them can not live solitary lives after their days at the track are over. Having grown accustomed to the rigorously structured life of the kennels, where they spend 23 hours per day in a cage, they are never away from other dogs until they retire. So I immediately got another greyhound to keep my remaining dog company. Unfortunately, just this week, that new greyhound sustained a freak eye injury that will require surgery. Added to the cost of care for my dog Tempo (pictured above), the amount of money becomes staggering. In order to help pay off the sizable debt that I have recently incurred as a result, I will soon embark on the creation of a series of gourd banjos. Small, punchy, and built around 10" canteen gourds, they will be fun instruments that sound wonderful. So if you're in the market for a gourd banjo, now is the time to contact me. Each instrument will be in the $500-$600 range.
