Steve DiBonaventura is indeed a marvelous virtuoso on banjo. Barbone Street
has booked him for a February 11, 2007 performance at the Pennsylvania Jazz
Society "Mardi Gras", in Easton PA, along with tubist Jim Parker (on
Sousaphone) another Philadelphia legend. Come hear them there. You'll be
delighted as well as amazed, as we stomp off some high energy New Orleans
Jazz.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
