The Banjo Rehabilitation Center happily calls Columbia, Missouri, its home town. Columbia is a vibrant university community that boasts an autumn Blues & Roots & Barbeque Festival and the springtime True/False Film Festival. Last month, the Del McCoury Band headlined again at the B&R&BBQ festival where Rob McCoury blazed-away on his 5 sting banjo (see photo). Also performing at the fest was the rediscovered folk rock artist Rodriquez. The documentary film “Searching for Sugarman” that chronicled Rodriquez`s unimaginable music odyssey was a hit at the 2012 True/False Film Festival (it won the 2013 Academy Award for best documentary).
Shortly after the recent R&B&BBQ festivities, the BRC website tabulated almost 150K search engine hits counted over the preceding year. To celebrate this milestone, our young CEO gave a congratulatory performance (see video) for the shop staff. Tunes included “Happy Birthday, Sam,” and “Old MacDonald/Had a Butterfly,”
The CEO and our BRC Board of Directors extend a heartfelt thanks to all readers who frequent the BRC website.
