Banjo Debut


The Banjo got its first debut yesterday when a group of teachers from various Tokyo schools got together and played at the opening gala for "Artscape," a high school artwork exhibit. We are called "The Arteests" and we are kind of like "The Talking Heads" meets "The Doobie Brothers." The show went well although I learned two valuable lessons: Lesson #1: I look like a hedgehog when I play the banjo sitting down. Lesson #2: I need a microphone to sing into that is separate from my banjo mic.... Here are the "Arteests" playing a Talking Heads song:


"The Tuks," (seen below): A Country Rock group made up of Brad, Rachel, Jeff, Justyna and I
We were the only group to really get the crowd going!
