G&F Bluegrass Band shares Holiday Spirit

December 8, 2012

The BRC founder’s band ‘Gainor and Friends’ gave holiday concerts for the in-patients on the children’s and adults’ psychiatric wards last week at the University Hospital. The highlights of this songfest included Mr. Bones (see BRC Hall of Fame)  juggling clusters of sleigh bells and tossing tamborines to the tune of seasonal favorites. Staff and patients ended the festive performances together with  a communal sing-along of “Jingle Bell Rock” and “White Christmas.” It’s the Bluegrass Way.

The band members wish all BanjoRehab readers a blessed Season and healthy 2013.

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.
