The 20th Annual Banjo Gathering!

The 20th Annual Banjo Gathering was held in Alexandria, Virginia, from November 2nd-5th. 

    Presentations ranged from the earliest history of the banjo to post-war Gretsch tenor banjos, and everything in between! We visited the Smithsonian National Museums of African American History and Culture and American History.
