banjo calendar 2014

5 Lucky Winners will be Selected to win a 2014 Banjo Calendar, which was created by one of Tony's banjo students here (Rob Lardie). We're excited to promote this since 2014 is the first year of Rob's official Banjo Calendar.

After years of wishing there was a calendar made specifically for banjo enthusiasts, Rob took it upon himself to make one himself. He's been working with a lot of top banjo makers to get some really great photos of some amazing banjos, plus the calendar includes many important dates in banjo. 

Just click on the link here and fill out the entry form to win a 2014 Banjo Calendar!

Please note: contest ends November 22
