Sacramento Banjo Band at Eskaton, Grass Valley 2022

Thank you, Herb Lindberg, for taking, and sharing with us, this video of our performance.

All Herb asked in exchange is that we might mention his email hnmlindberg@comcast.net, and his YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClPkHqFC5jqXR3KO8Wia4xQ I think we got the best of the bargain.

Here’s what he wrote when he sent this to us, “These are the eight best tunes played by the Sacramento Banjo Band during their November 4, 2022 session in the Highlander Room at Eskaton Village Grass Valley. All three of their singers are featured with clear, strong voices at their advanced ages. The finale is the ever-popular "Roll Out the Barrel," played after a couple humorous false starts that brought the band and the house down. Book this band -- they're great!”

Band members: Ben Dale, Jim Matthews, John Green, Phil Anderson, Carol Hood, Weldon Ward, Stan Hart, Larry Vance, Bev Anderson.

Vocals by John Gteen, Bev Anderson, and Larry Vance.
