Dear Michel,
Thank you.  I really appreciated learning a little more about these  
musicians.  I like the sounds they are producing and the energy  and little extras 
they use to gain audience appeal.  Also, I  think Henri Lemaire has 
admirable right hand skills.

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?

Michel
