   THANK YOU Kerouac! I do have experience playing with banjo players and   
   when a banjo player has to use a capo, it generally needs to be   
   retuned, but nothing that takes up an extended amount of time. It's a   
   simple thing and if you want music to sound good--it's required to be   
   in tune! Get over it!   
      
   Get over it huh?  If your standing out under a tree, sure take your time.   
   If your trying to put on a show in front of a crowd, not so good :)  You   
   ever see Crowe or Sonny or Scruggs piddle with the tuning when they change   
   keys, going pling pling pling?  A banjo and a guitar should be able to   
   change keys and be in tune by the time the MC gets through anouncing the   
   song!  Not 30 seconds later while not only the band but the entire crowd   
   gets to witness that old chinese number "TUN-ING".  If you see nothing wrong   
   with that, then you are who I am talking to (grin).  Get your banjo fixed!
