[Dixielandjazz] Axes :) as carry-on luggage

[John McClernan]

My good friend Franny Smith takes the neck off his banjo when he has  
to fly, puts the pot in his suitcase and takes the neck as carry on,  
asking the attendant to put it in the cabinet where they hang their  
garment bags. They have always been happy to oblige, so far as I  
know. It's an alternative.

My 2¢.
Cheers,
John
