Not surprisingly, the banjo has figured its way into the Israeli music scene as evidenced by this cover photo on an entertainment guide published recently in Tel Aviv.
Although the not too distant Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth (400 meters below sea level), the BRC founder uplifts himself by reading the Banjo Newsletter while mud bathing on the Jordanian shoreline.
P.S. Shoppers check-out the BRC banjo on e-bay May 12th-19th (sold).
