[Dixielandjazz] Banjo Concert

[billsharp]

Here is some very fine entertainment being offered on Sept 9th, in San 
Jose, California.  I don't really hear much about these banjo 
gatherings on DJML, but they are frequent, and held all over the 
country.

To be honest, I never enjoyed the banjo much until I started going to 
these things, but once I heard banjos being played correctly by the 
guest artists, then they acquired a whole new life.  Once you hear one 
of the true artists, then you can really learn to love this instrument. 
There will be some of them there on Sept 9.

DJML members are always asking - - "where can I hear OKOM live?"
Banjo music is definitely  "real-live(ly) music" --


Here is the Peninsula Banjo Band web site with information on the San 
Jose Banjo Jubilee:

P.S. have any of you noticed how ukelele clubs seem to be popping up 
around the country.?  Is it ok the say that they're also OKOM?  They 
play the old standards just like we do, and because of it, I believe 
that they help keep alive the tunes that many of us play in the more 
traditional bands, and as such we should support them in the same way 
that we expect everyone to support us.
