Farmington's 'Banjo Man' Plays Return Engagement

In town for a visit, Skip Rosenthal entertains at the Farmington Civic Theater.

Once upon a time, when was a used bookstore called Books Abound, owner Skip Rosenthal often played his banjo in front of the store and before movie showings at the .

Rosenthal has been living out of the country for several years, but still owns a home in Farmington. He returned this week for visit and was invited to make a return engagement. On Friday night, he delighted movie-goers with his renditions of "Ain't She Sweet", "Bye, Bye Blackbird" and "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby". 

Rumor has it Skip will play evenings during this weekend (indoors if the weather turns) and, perhaps, next weekend as well.
