Frank Weingard,
playing his Banj-Mo at the 12th Annual
Townville, PA Talent Show, where he
played the banjmo with a rock group, a
gospel group, and did some folk tunes
solo.
Frank sent me this
picture, which is what inspired
me to create
this page.

Dennis
explaing to Don Pedi (playing Banj-Mo) about his search for a
banjo-dulcimer with the sound of the old-time home built mountain
banjos with a small (often ground hog skin) head, and how the Banj-Mo
design came about when neither the banjo-mer, or the banjimers
available had the sound he was looking for.

Pedi playing a banj-mo at the Blue River Dulcimer Festival. 'This
is the only banjo dulcimer I've
ever heard or played that really sounds like an old-time mountain
banjo', Don told me after playing an original Folk Notes Banj-Mo.
