Patrick also worked with Gerard De Smaele on a documentary called "ABanjo Frolic" for an exhibition of the five-string banjo at The Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels from October 15, 2003 to February 15, 2004. There has been a limited amount of duplicates made of the documentary but I suspect that Patrick and Gerard will want to put this out on DVD someday. It is a must-see for five-string banjo enthusiasts. It was of a journey that the two men took from Atlanta, GA through Washington DC, Western Carolina, Blue Ridge Mountains, Smokies and Appalachia visiting players and banjo makers. Peggy Seeger, Geoff Stelling, Laura Boosinger, Mike Seeger, Alan Jabbour, Pete Seeger, Doc Watson, Reed Martin, J.P. Fraley and others. Patrick is very talented and a fine person. Frank
