(click images to enlarge) The above Banjo Style Collage was made in 1967 from some of my favorite LP record album covers. I was playing seven nights a week at Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Knoxville, Tennessee (7355 Kingston Pike). Clicking on different hotspot points in the Banjo Style Collage will play songs from the LP albums. Wow! What an assortment of different ways to play the banjo.
