we enjoyed Dick Martin, banjo player from Sweet Home – Oregon, who performed together with his German friends (Kulus) at Fiddlers Irish Pub, Bonn, 24th of September. The banjo he played, a VegaVox 2, was a famous one: once owned by Harry Reser.
thanks for the informations to Sean Moyses, who organized the banjo players meeting …
Dick Martin plays together with his wife Anna Tewes and his German friend Jürgen Kulus from Leonberg; the title of the composition: Calliope Rag (imitating the whistles of a Mississippi steam boat)

Memorable musical moment Frizztext, I’m happy that you shared it. Great video, by the way, I like the background, books, keyboard, and banjo playing. Have a great afternoon!

Another enjoyable banjo post 🙂 I owned a banjo once, many years ago, and was learning to play it. While I was away visiting my family one weekend however, my ex sold the thing! Never bought another one. Listening to all the banjo music you’ve been posting lately though, I’m seriously thinking about buying another one and learning to pick. . . again. 🙂

dear Elizabeth, every day, step by step, I will upload more of the world of banjo players. I discovered there’s a hidden lifestyle community of musicians – far away from expensive stage acts with big audiences, more a meeting on a family and friends level, not amplified. myself, I’m not a very talented player, bluegrass is very difficult, also Johann Sebastian Bach on the banjo (Bela Fleck, he can) – but old time banjo, gospels, simple blues: it seems to be allowed there in those Irish Pubs; that soothes my soul; by the way, in your very near in Brooklyn, I’ve heard from the JALOPY theater, RED HOOK project: great!!!
