Just one at a time. Though I have seen Roy Clark slip from Banjo to Guitar to Lute to Mandolin without missing a beat, on several occasions. A neat guy with a great crowd attitude. The corn likker around here is awful -- Southside Virginia is the Moonshine Capitol of the World but, all in all, they produce a horrid product. (They cut it with kerosene and the taste comes through.) Now, up north a ways, in the heart of the Shenandoah, the farmers are a bit more conscientious, and their squeezin's are delectable -- drink the stuff all night, and you wake up the next day with a song in your heart and never a hangover will you have. But these guys don't sell it: it is made for home consumption and, being illegal as daylights, you have to be part of the Inner Sanctum to ever get to taste any. I have done so, and it is great, but my last source died twenty years back and I still occasionally try to make friends with some of these guys, just in the hopes ... If you travel north of your benighted realms, Jim, up to Real California, north of Santa Rosa, you can find the same. But, then, you have to KNOW someone to get any. My Dad used to work Asti as a gauger and, while HE was teetotal, he did bring some magnificent stuff home!
