I started playing banjo when I was five years old
It was not my life to be like now if I had not done it.
I came from a family of six musicians
I have three sisters,
My older sister works in the music profession in Nashville Tennessee.
When I was too young my mother bought Banjo.
After a while my mother gave it to my other sister.
Then he finally moved to me and I’ve been playing it since.
Many times when my sister was in town, I accompanied her at her concerts.
One thing I’ve noticed over years of performance is that
Whenever you play banjo, the place is full of life.
Whenever you hear banjo, the heads spin
And stimulates the public to stand up and start applause and dance,
That is why I love performance a lot.
Although I have played in many places,
My city is the place where I find myself in my home.
It’s where I started my musical journey.
Thank. I will now play a song for Earl Scrooges.
Called “Happy House”

No: Thank you (Johnny White)!
(Johnny), every time I see you playing, Yintbani feels amazing.
Your talent and passion for the banjo is unparalleled.
What I want to say:
If you mix music in a bar or put something on iTunes, I will never hesitate to buy it.
Thank you for being with us today, (Johnny).
Tell me the date of your album.
Thank.
