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)
