Warren Yates
I got the opportunity to meet Mr. Warren Yates this afternoon at one of Hickory's Bluegrass in the Park events at Henry Fork Park. I actually met him at the last event and didn't really realize who he was until after the fact. The local newspaper did a story on Warren recently, but I wasn't able to get the photo assignment because of some prior commitments. Warren Yates not only plays a banjo... he makes them as well. Warren recently posted this video clip on YouTube showing some of the process involved in making a banjo:
I also shot this quick video of Warren Yates and KUDZU playing "Will You Miss Me" at today's Bluegrass in the Park event...
