Bayside Banjo Aggregation (BBA)


St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Banjofest

Annually, BBA hosts the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Banjofest at the Allenberry Resort Hotel in Boiling Springs, PA. A *FULL* weekend of tenor and plectrum banjo! ...workshops, jams, afternoon massacre as well as evening shows, display area {free table space to all who have something to sell}, evening banquet and of course.. door prizes! Thursday evening dinner and jamming this year happened at the new Player's Club in the basement of the Allenberry main building . It has become the early bird kick off for the weekend's activities.

Jim Riley, a founder of BBA, performed as our headliner for the February 2004 gathering. To accompany him, Jim enlisted the services of his long time Pizza parlor playing companions, Buddy Wachter and Frank Wiedefeldt, and the standup bass talents of Ernie Buck.
