Uncle Dave plays both a Mike Ramsey Chanterelle Standard open back banjo and a Bob Flesher Old Virginia Model open back banjo. The links for these great banjo makers are as follows:

Western Hats
For a fine, hand made western or dress hat try Peter Brothers Hats. They are especially good if you are like Uncle Dave (who wears a size 8!) and can not ordinarily find hats that fit properly.

Joe LaMay & Sherri Reese
"I first met Joe and Sherri at the 2002 Jerusalem Ridge Festival in Rosine, Kentucky. We commenced talking and I quickly found them to be very nice, friendly people. They sang us some songs they had written and I was especially impressed with Joe's "The Old Man Is Gone", a song about Bill Monroe. I intend to record this song myself! We had a great time at Rosine. This year I had the opportunity to hear their whole group for the first time. They are great, and here is why: when you go to most "bluegrass" festivals you hear the same tunes over and over and over and over. If you go to a festival you'll hear Orange Blossom Special and What Have They Done to the Old Home Place done by every single band on the show. NOT SO with Joe and Sherri. You'll hear very good original music mixed with killer humour and a warm, easy to listen to sound. They are a delightful addition to the bluegrass genre because they do not sound like anyone else but at the same time their music is firmly rooted in old time and bluegrass. I would recommend them to any promoter putting on a show."
