about

For those curious about the AM radio sound in this track: on the intro and outro I am using the original mute that came with my 1937 Gibson Top Tension banjo.

Here is a photo of the mute.

And the article here discusses the direction Gibson had taken when designing my banjo:

Here is a video with someone using the mute while playing 5-string.

Ben goes on bike tour playing shows with his cello, a drummer, and is an all around amazing human being. And played on the Bartok album too. Jake Schepps

If Not Now, Who?
by Joe K. Walsh

supported by 9 fans who also own “Chorando Baixinho”

Everything about this wonderful recording works beautifully! The writing is fun and adventurous without being pretentious or contrived, the musicianship is awe-inspiring ... every single note is played with gravity, intention and purpose and the whole thing is a joy-filled experience for both the ears and soul. In the time since Joe released "Borderland" I'd convinced myself that I couldn't possibly love his music more. Along comes "If Not Now, Who?", and I stand corrected. Wayne Fugate
