Banjo Lessons with Tim Weed
"There's a group of musicians who have redefined the banjo. People like Bela Fleck, Tony Trischka, and Bill Keith... Tim Weed is one of those musicians."
-Duane Inglish, Live Oak Music Festival |
"Tim Weed takes the banjo further than most. He plays chromatic banjo extraordinarily well... I loooove his banjo playing!"
-BOBBY THOMPSON, 5-String Banjo Innovator |
"Milagros is a fascinating ... wonderful CD and I appreciate [Tim Weed's] talent."
-BOB BOILEN, All Things Considered, National Public Radio |
"Milagros is really great! It's spent a lot of time in my player since it arrived. I especially like Granada Vox."
-BILL KEITH, Banjo Pioneer & Inventor |
