Every autumn as the temperatures begin to fall, the lake behind the BRC workshop gives up its summertime heat in plumes of morning mist.
When these ghostly clouds finally dispel, stunning sunrises reappear.
For an autumn project, the BRC craftsman fashioned the “Dragon Master” banjo. The peghead displays a scary dragon and a fearless knight in armor who will tame the mythical creature.
As all BRC banjos have an inlay on the heel of the neck for the eyes only of the musician, the courageous knight reappears at this site. A nearby inscription on the rim indicates that this instrument is the 105th banjo produced by the BRC.
Whenever a musician brings a new instrument to our weekly Thursday night jam session, it is a tradition for the proud owner to celebrate by providing the jammers with an ice cream treat. Recently, one of our pickers arrived at the weekly get-together with a newly purchased shiny guitar. He treated us all to ice cream bars on the upper back deck of the BRC domicile on a mild autumn evening.
From the BRC: Have a pleasant Fall season.
