170 - sorry, you're wrong! I sold my banjo round about 1970, not because of any sense of shame or the ridicule my playing engendered, but because I just had to concentrate on guitar and, well, the chords just seemed too upside down at the time. I do play the melodeon though - there, I've confessed and feel better for it. I still hang out with banjo players and I also play sousaphone, tuba and....but that's another story
