SCOTT Whitfeld (early DBB president) inducted into american Banjo Hall of Fame

Current DBB Players Teri Ann Rogers and Bill Cude (center and right) joined another of Scott's  students to perform one of Scott's original tunes as part of the induction ceremony.

American Banjo Museum, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.The very first inductee into their Hall of Fame was none other than Smokey Montgomery, who founded the Dallas Banjo Band in 1989

Scott Whitfield, an Internationally famous Banjoist, and  a local Dallas Teaching Musician, accepts the 2021 award.

Scott has had many members of the DBB as students, as well as probably thousands of other students.

Scott has maintained his relationship with the DBB through the years, serving as both a consultant and an occasional participant at some of our gigs.

Deserved congratulations, Scott !
