Hello Ginny and all

This banjoist is Henri Lemaire who lives in France near Lyon (and not 
far Switzerland). He's also an excellent bass player and he teach 
guitar. He plays with various bands such Red Hot Reedwarmers, Thomas 
Winteler's Jazz Serenaders, South Side Jazz Serenaders and probably many 
others. I particularly remember seeing him in an amazing gipsy trio but 
I have no recording or video.

I never seen or heard "Sweet Cyclo Jazz Team" till today. They seem to 
live in Lyon (France) in the same area as Henri Lemaire. According to 
their website, Henri Lemaire is not part of their regular personnel; 
other musicians are professionals. Anyway, in IMHO, the music that is 
broadcast on their website sounds good.

Perhaps our listmate Gary Kiser who lives not far from Lyon could tell 
us more?
