The Banjo is Back! Odd things have been happening lately. I just got a call from OME banjos telling me that my custom made clawhammer banjo is being shipped, and I related to Chuck that on Saturday we put on a banjo concert to a sold out room. In fact we had to tell at least 30 folks that they couldn't get in. Those that did, listened intently to banjo music for a few hours that evening - and seemed keenly interested in it all. Chuck said that there definitley is a resurgance going on. Their sales were up by 50% over the past year. He said this happens every so often - the last big one was just after the movie Deliverance. On Saturday as well an article in the Toronto Star Newspaper told of the chairman of The Royal Bank of Canada was retiring to concentrate on learning clawhammer banjo. They've been playing cuts from our clawhammer CD'S on CBC radio -who'd of thunk it. For years there were very few banjo players around Toronto - now there seems to be a banjo playing community growing, and many of these young folks will be top notch musicians. It's all a lot of fun - Any one else been noticing this in your community?
