with an introduction by Al Grover
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2:30 p.m.
This concert is held in memory of Albert D. Grover, banjoist, composer, teacher and inventor of banjo parts and accessories. Grover founded one of the first banjo clubs in the country in 1883 and later formed the Boston Ideal Banjo Club which toured in the 1890’s. The program will be introduced by Al Grover, grandson of Albert D. Grover and founder of a major boating concern in Freeport. Al Grover is also the first person to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a motorboat. Organized in 1963, the Long Island Banjo Society is a group of men and women promoting “the preservation and entertainment of banjo playing.” These talented players bring a beautiful sound to the art of banjo playing.
