On the radio...
Friends,
For those wishing a little bit of banjo on the radio I did an interview on this station last week which streams via the internet.

Athens does a nice job and always plays a healthy dose of "our" sort of music, so please tune it. She is the wife of the exceptional banjoist Kurt Abell.
Greetings,
Sean

www.EddiePeabody.com is launched
Yes friends, this month really is EddiePeabody month! Today I launched www.EddiePeabody.com . It has taken a while but with the blessing of his son George I decided that the King of the Banjo should be present on the web and to a modern audience, he deserves it after the time HE put in to promoting the banjo. I hope you enjoy the site and any help/opinions/critisism/donations are welcome.
Greetings,
Sean.

Eddie Peabody 1920's recordings now available to download.
My dear friends.
The Eddie Peabody recordings project has been a long while in the making and I'm proud to announce that with the gracious permission of George Peabody (Eddie's son) the entire collection of 1920's & 30's recordings are available to download. These two albums were originaly intended as a gift to Eddie from Lowell Schreyer in 1970 but fate took him away before the project was completed.
Despite the historical significance of the recordings I was not able to interest a record company to release them on CD so after years of the collection being heard by only a select few it can now once again be heard publicly and they will hopefully inspire present and future generations of plectrum banjo players. The recordings took an entire week to digitaly restore and although they may not be up to modern standards the musically and phenonimal musicianship shines through. Click here to see what I mean.
Best wishes,
Sean.
