A sunny lakeside photo of the BRC domicile taken from the opposite shoreline earlier this month shows our abode surrounded by leafy trees. The back door to the banjo workshop is seen on the ground level next to the shaded stairs. Despite the blue skies and a mirrored reflection on the still waters, close inspection of the trees shows several shades of fading greenery. Summer in the Heartland was on the wane.
Last winter, the “Snowy Owl” BRC banjo #94 was purchased by an out-of-town buyer during the annual Holiday exhibit at the local community art gallery. The new owner has local kinfolk, and he stopped-by the BRC workshop a few days ago to have his 5-stringer signed by its craftsman and to get a few tips on tuning and picking style. While visiting the BRC workshop, he purchased the “Peace Eagle” BRC banjo #99 which was then also signed.
A photo on the upper deck shows the customer with the banjo-builder. In the background appear the very early beginnings of autumnal coloring of the nearby valley where a previous BRC homestead was located years ago.
From the BRC: Have a colorful autumn season in your neck of the woods.
