A concert not to be missed if you are near the Pasadena, CA area on August 12, 2006 at 8pm! As reported by Caltech Folk Music Society:
“The Secret Life of Banjos is a program of interactive banjolity never heard before on any world stage, featuring two masters of the five string banjo. Jody Stecher and Bill Evans bring a shared passionate lifelong involvement and fascination with the banjo to a concert that explores and celebrates the diversity, excitement, charm and history of one of America’s most celebrated but misunderstood instruments. You’ll hear solos and duets; original pieces, chestnuts and rarities; 19th century minstrel and classic banjo; bluegrass, rags, blues and old-time playing; banjo songs and instrumentals and much more, all performed on a vast array of fretted and fretless banjos with open backs and resonators, strung with strings of steel, nylon and gut and bearing names such as Gibson, Bacon, Cole and Vega.”
