Do an act of contrition Fra Mike. Banjo is "modern". Stephen DiBonaventura
plays "Confirmation" beautifully. He single strings his solo portion,
reminding one of Bird, and plays single string melody on the tune more
accurately than most people do on their horns.

He is a virtuoso banjoist as those who attend banjo conventions will attest
and plays the hell out of trad, country, bebop, classical etc.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
