Brady's Awesome Banjo Story...
This is just the coolest story and I had to tell it. When do we get good news that needs to be shared with everyone?
This was the response she received from David Vega, Deering Banjo Company International Sales, Customer Service:
Hi Brady,If that isn't heartwarming and a reinforcement in humanity, I don't know what is! So dang cool.
First thank you for choosing Deering banjos as your beginning banjos! Second, I am so sorry that your Goodtime Parlor was stolen from your classroom. That's amazing that your coworkers and students raised money for you to get a replacement, it speaks volumes to what you mean to them as a teacher and a colleague.
The Goodtime Parlor and a gig bag to go with it would normally be $644.00, which is a bit more than what you have from the fundraising. Since this is a replacement for a stolen banjo, I would like to offer to you both bag and banjo for the $544 including taxes. Also you are a local and you serve the community.
You would be in luck. I just had a Goodtime Parlor banjo that came in fresh off the factory floor.
And here is Brady with her brand new banjo. Happiness abounds (and music, too)!

I hope karma catches up with the thief!!! It's sad to lose the banjo that had all the adventures with her, but I know she will make many new ones.
