Last month, our Chicago grandkids stayed at the BRC domicile for a week in order to attend a horseback riding camp at a nearby ranch. One morning on the drive to the countryside venue, they thrilled to witness a magnificent bald eagle swoop down in front of their vehicle to seize some roadside carrion with its spikey talons.
On the weekend, the youngsters visited the Veteran`s Pavilion op-up art exhibit on display in the lobby gallery of the Central Bank of Missouri to see their grandfather`s Sky Rover banjo (for details please enter “rover” in the homepage search engine to visit the “Sky Rover & Happy 4th” posting of July 4, 2021). They studied the mother of pearl eagles on the fretboard and learned that all BRC banjos have a signature inlay on the heel of the neck for the eyes only of the musician.
The BRC craftsman is a student of military history and has an extensive collection of original vintage and contemporary posters, and many of them depict striking images of our National Bird- the bald eagle.
The Veteran`s Pavilion art show concluded at the end of July with an evening reception to honor its participating Show-Me State former members of the US Armed Forces.
