Quote
1 [on the banjo as the ‘flavour du jour’] I like it when it’s good and I don’t like it when it’s bad. To me it doesn’t feel like success to have crappy banjo on a crappy song. Just because it’s widespread doesn’t mean it’s good. But there’s a lot of real good playing going on, and that I find even more exciting.
2 What I like about the fact that it’s everywhere right now is that the stigma factor has faded away. People might chuckle a bit about the idea of the banjo, but they also take it seriously. So when you think, ‘Why are all these people that are more main-stream putting the banjo in their music?’, it’s because it has a sound of authenticity.
3 When I was learning the banjo in New York City, Pete Seeger was great example of a ‘New York City banjo player’. He was a lot more than a banjo player, he was a spokesman for a certain part of our society at that time. He was also a guy who believed in everybody getting together and using music as a ‘wedge’. The music was a meeting point for people to discover how much they agreed on things. He also did very simple music. His message had to do with simplicity. Mine is probably the furthest from that.
Fact
1 Brother-in-law of Erin Torneo.
2 Brother of Sascha Paladino and Louie Fleck.

Levi Jones’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Levi Jones Net Worth: Levi Jones is a former American professional football player who has a net worth of $13 million. Levi Jones was born in 1979 in Eloy, Arizona. He played college football for the Arizona State University Sun Devils. The six-foot-five, 307-pound offensive tackle earned second-team All-Pac 10 honors in 2000 and first-team All-Pac 10 honors in 2001. He was the winner of the Morris Trophy, which is given to the West Coast’s best offensive lineman at the end of every season. The Cincinnati Bengals drafted Jones with the tenth overall pick during the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He played in Cincinnati until 2008 before playing for one year with the Washington Redskins. Jones appeared in 94 career NFL games, starting 89 of them, and recovering three fumbles. While still playing in the NFL, Jones made headlines for his off-the-field behavior in Las Vegas when he and fellow pro player Joey Porter were involved in a fight at a Sin City casino in early 2007. The brawl apparently came about after the two routinely butted heads on the field as member of rival teams in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Porter was later charged with, and pled not guilty to, misdemeanor battery as a result of the incident.
