The Old Time Herald says that Tom and Jon "...are not only masters of their instruments, they attack the songs here with energetic vocals and tight harmonies...repeated, deep listening reveals high creativity and even experimentation, hinting at all kinds of riches to be mined from future listening."
Brad Leftwich says of our album, 'Sinful to Flirt,' "...a delightful collection of classic fiddle-banjo duets, played with energy, skill and respect for tradition!"
The Banjo Newsletter reviewed the album and loved it. Dan Levenson says, "it reminds me of the old players and recordings I loved when starting out and old time was still old time. ... Don't miss this CD."
Friends of American Old Time Music and Dance in the UK agrees that "...this CD is a little gem."

Tom, you have no idea how lucky you are to have a banjo with my fathers work on it. He does his work so selectively and on a very small scale. This was my favorite job he did with Chuck & Tanya. I'm really glad to see it in the hands of a great player such as yourself!
I had to post and say thank you for this. This video itself is moving and inspirational. The idea, the video quality, the description of the banjo and narration, the tune choice and the way you played it...truly beautiful, thank you.
When playing för 55 years it is harder and harder to find music that inspires you. This does, it is the best banjo playing i have ever heard.
Awesome take on your banjo journey.
Beautiful playing, amazing instrument, very moving share. A gift to have stumbled upon it on Thanksgiving eve. Thank you! xx Buzz Holland
Beautiful tone! Almost bell-like ring, super pleasant on the ears.
Great video....Ome’s masterpiece openback banjo and you make it sound amazing! Yes!....it’s all about getting inspiration to elevate your musicianship....nicely said. Thanks for posting
Wow... that was moving, and I don't mean the speed or feel of your playing but rather the emotional resonance that came from watching it. Just wow.
What a fantastic banjo. Great advice and words too
Wonderful. The banjo and your narration. I wish I could have had the inspiration that you give twenty years ago. I tried and failed then, but I still have a couple of the fine banjos.
Beautiful instrument and tune!
Damn...Tom, you hit the nail on the head with why I picked up the banjo 10 years ago. There's a place to go where I should be. I'm still on that road discovering new and beautiful things along the way.
Dude you are a great teacher. Thank you!
Very cool video and I agree, I have some nice open-back banjos here but when I finally received my Pisgah 12 inch rim walnut Possum it seemed to open new doors to creativity. Thanks for posting!
Tom you are so blessed! I lived in the USA (legally) for 24 years and had to come back to Brazil because I lost my 33 years job (banker), health plan ran out and my wife had cancer. She died one year after we came back. Now I am 70, too old to go back, even though I proudly hold an American passport. I started on banjo (both clawhammer and bluegrass, 3 fingers). This week I decided I prefer the clawhammer/two finger/oldtime. Easier to sing with, more melodic, soft and pleasant. I never pretended (know my limitations) to be a great picker. Besides even thought I love the bluegrass/country/folk/gospel side of the USA, this is not my main culture. But clawhammer will get me pretty close, actually I believe that in the beginning it was the most popular form of banjo playing. I wish I could live in the USA and afford this brand of banjo. Here it is very, very difficult to find and very, very expensive to buy a decent banjo. I put all my coins together and bought an entry level clawhammer Deering. And I love it. My treasure. Thank you a lot for your lessons. By the way, I am also a drummer (my main instrument), particularly a jazz drummer. God bless. Be safe. CB
But good heavens, have you seen the prices? Com'n man! Great playing btw:-) Love the song and the sound.
How beautiful!
Just watched your EQ video, your worst banjo video - now this 'Best Banjo' . Wonderful series you got going!.
It’s my circa 1924 Clifford Essex Paragon original five string.
That banjo is beautiful
