" I rate Jim very highly as one of
the greatest banjo makers, probably of all time. We build up this
mythology about banjo makers in the 19th Century and the early 20th
Century...and I'm sure there's a good dozen makers today who are equal
to the best of the past. And certainly Jim is one of.....or I would say
there's a light handful... I would think who's (instruments) surpass
some of the instruments of the past. And he would be embarrassed to hear
me say that. But if you hold these instruments in your hand, there no
denying it, it's absolutely a thing of beauty."
