Our community art league recently held its summer open show for members only, and no thematic requirements were imposed upon the participants. The BRC founder submitted a chess game inspired banjo entitled “Make Your Move.” At the gala reception, he explained to interested patrons that the “BRC” on the peg head meant “Bishop takes Rook, Checkmate.”
To guests who puzzled over why a 5 stringer was in an art exhibit, he advised that the lettering on the headstock stood for “Banjo, Remain Calm.”
A few days before the art show opened, the BRC founder`s group “The G&F Trio” gave a Fourth of July songfest on the pediatric ward of the university Women and Children`s Hospital where TJ the Tiger is the kiddies` mascot.
The singers drove through torrential rains amidst flash flood warnings and lightening to perform for the patients and parents. Despite snow and ice in the winter months, the intrepid threesome have been regularly entertaining the kids for a dozen years- while braving all the weather extremes that Missouri has to offer.
From the BRC: By the way, the BRC website search engine hits recently surpassed 900K, and we gratefully thank readers for visiting us. Have a great summer.
