2 videos of practice for Symphony Hall concert

[Jody Stecher]

As requested, I have posted videos of our practice for the 3 nights at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. We were allotted no more than 7 minutes so we deleted some repeats. A Ragtime Episode is nearly complete. Bill Evans is playing first banjo on a Bart Reiter banjo with a whyte lady type tone ring and 8 (0r 10) year old Chris Sands heavy gauge nylon strings and making them sound brand new. Scott Nygaard in the back is playing 2nd banjo (my Stefanelli) and I am playing guitar-banjo, an old Vega Electric model (scalloped tone ring) with mixed set of nylon strings. 

For the Hard Times/ Pensacola medley I am playing first banjo on my Eric Stefanelli big pot tuber-foam banjo with a mixed set of Savarez (instruments anciens) and Aquila bass. Bill Evans is playing second banjo and Scott Nygaard is in the back playing guitar-banjo and looking innocent and harmless but actually playing some monstrously good bass runs etc. We play Pensacola too fast and get derailed in the end and forget we are not repeating parts so we do the last part again.
