DON STEVISON'S PLECTRUM BANJO SITE

     I hope that the pictures are enjoyed by all who visit my website.  My family and I had a wonderful 3 days together and I am sure that you'll agree I had my own cheering section.  Seriously, I want to send a big "THANK YOU" to everyone to has allowed me into their lives.  It has truly been a privledge to have met each and every one of you, even if only in an email.  
     The next big event will be the FIGA Convention in Peoria, IL, July 13 -- July 19, 2009 .  I will be sure and post pictures of all that goes on there too.  It should be alot of fun.

      I hope that everyone has a great year!!
