About Us
Our Founder
Smokey Montgomery, a legend in the Banjo world, agreed to help with the formation of the Band in 1989. He planned to only spend a few months with us until we were organized.. instead he led us, and played with us, until his passing, at age 88, in 2001.
Smokey was the first inductee into the Banjo Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City and oldtimers may remember him from the early radio days when he was the banjoist for the Light Crust Doughboys weekly radio show in the 40's
