That Banjo Business

Hi there!

Putting the bad into badnjo website one ill-informed line of code at a time.

I'm Haddock. I was a well-behaved classical pianist, flautist, and composer. I got bitten by the bluegrass bug after researching materials for Gravity Falls fanfiction. I got so excited by the Stanley Brothers and Earl Scruggs's picking that I abandoned my creative writing and raced for the banjo. Never been the same since.

I received degrees in linguistics and music composition. We can pretend this makes me "qualified" to talk about country music but it just means I'm susceptible to crying about dobros.

This site is a constant WORK IN PROGRESS - thanks for your patience!

Montgomery Ward

Montgomery Ward. The ~~outhouse toilet paper~~ catalogue, right? Of course the catalogue wanted to sell records. The Montgomery Ward label ran from 1933-1941 and was, at various points, cutting records produced by RCA Victor, Decca, and the United States Record Corporation.

1936

1938
