Come and learn how to make a canjo this Saturday from the one and only Les Barnett! Les will be selling kits and helping kids put them together. Stop by the museum shop on your way out to grab music made just for these one-string-plucking sticks. No registration necessary, available while supplies last. | The Foxfire Museum

THE CANJO: Some friends of mine made this instrument and left it at the studio. I'm gonna use it to create some dirty twangy theme song stuff for video that I'm working on. I love how it sounds but if you play it, you need to be stoked on the the "twang intonation" - i.e whatever sound it gives you that's what you get. Personally, I love this thing. Tons of character. | Soul Effective Productions
