Banjo for a Rainy Day
David O'Dell

"Banjo players just don't think like regular people do," says Danny Williams in his liner notes for David O'Dell's 2003 release.

"Last fall, David had a chance to spend a couple weeks in Australia, playing our music for the mates and sheilas down there. I guess they invited him because he's one of the superb multi-instrument musicians in West Virginia, plus a real heir to the history and traditions of the mountains, or some such reason.

"So, anyway, when it came time to fly back to West Logan, David started looking around for a nice souvenir of his trip. ... Most people would pick up a boomerang or a refrigerator magnot in the shape of a shark... David bouht an Applachian banjo."

This entire, enchanting album was recorded on that fine instrument created by Alan Funk of White Swallow Banjos.
