Passing the Torch

September 3, 2012

As Labor Day Weekend  slips through the Heartland on Isaac`s stormy rains, the parched grounds and gardens surrounding the Banjo Rehabilitation Center taste water for the first time in a long dry summer. Although there is a touch of autumn in the Missouri morning air outside our workshop, thoughts turn back to the sunny California beaches where the BRC staff enjoyed a well-deserved holiday only a few short weeks ago. As pictured in the below beach photo, the BRC founder passes the family musical torch to our harmonica-playing CEO thus linking a generational chain that began with the youngster`s great grandfather. In the background, the CEO`s guitar-picking uncle is beach combing with his tiny daughter, our Senior VP of Sales.

Check-out our first BRC banjo autumn offering on eBay from September 3-10 (sold).

Upon receipt, the buyer e-mailed, “Banjo is just what I wanted; Just the sound I was looking for; Beautiful too….Great work!”

BRC Staff Kicks Back for 2011 Holiday Photo

November 26, 2011

Undaunted by tepid seasonal sales of our official T-shirt line, the BRC support staff is all smiles for the 2011 holiday photo. Our elf-like CEO (right front row in mother’s lap) used this opportunity to help his shop staff to de-stress, refocus, and energize for the coming year by recounting the imperative that the BRC goal is to maintain the banjo at the center of the Bluegrass music tradition- America’s home grown hillbilly jazz. To crystalize this sales strategy, our elfin VP of Sales (back row left in Grandma’a arms) invoked a marketing slogan for 2012:

“It don’t mean a thang,
If it ain’t got that twang.”

In recognition of this stirring and timely marketing catch phrase, our CEO promoted the VP of Sales to Senior Vice-President of Sales, much to everyone’s acclaim.

Quality control: no detail too small for small CEO

May 12, 2011

Checking Instrument for StandardsQuality control is dogma at the Banjo Rehabilitation Center. Our young CEO takes a personal “hands-on” approach by inspecting each finished banjo. Every rebuilt instrument must be suited to both backwoods and uptown jam session picking. Although he has no formal musical training, our CEO is  a role model to the BRC support staff because of his quiet commitment to banjo craftsmanship and music.

Company CEO takes a breather

May 8, 2011

 

Our young CEO pauses during a hectic day at the Banjo Rehabilitation Center. Unlike high-dollar CEO’s that you read about in newspapers, the BRC chief officer works for no salary. In his scant spare time, he daydreams of  a “Banjotropolis” new society with the banjo woven into its cultural fabric. Because of the rock-bottom prices of our refurbished starter banjos, however, the BRC has never turned a profit, and the young CEO must focus on this  tangible reality.
