Paul Siebert

Paul Siebert was back to Brookdale this afternoon and provided entertainment for the October Birthdays. There were an unusually large number of them that Rosellen recognized during a break in Paul's program. He not only provides excellent "sing along" music but also tells the story that goes with it. It seems that movies have done much more to popularize Country Music than did cowboys. He started his 50 minute program with the Guitar and big hat but switched to a Derby hat as he sang Celtic songs.While he played a conventional Banjo, the one shown here was hand made with a squash base covered with goat skin. It originated in Africa. He also played a Jaw harp, Dulcimer and button Accordion. He has a wonderful singing voice but can do imitations, even whistle and yodel. He said the program he provided us was the same as he did each of the 8-days of the State Fair.
