Bill and Babi Evans | “My Favorite Things”
A wonderful banjo duet on a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic from banjo ambassadors Bill and Babi Evans.
Peghead Nation instructor Bill Evans and Babi Evans perform the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, “My Favorite Things” from their home in Alto, New Mexico in 2020. Bill has recently been on the road with the California Bluegrass Reunion, which also includes Peghead Nation instructors Sharon Gilchrist, John Reischman, and Chad Manning. Look for more from them next year!
Of this performance, Bill says: “This was originally broadcast on Episode 13 of the Nell and Jim Show, produced by our good friends Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally. We realize that our favorite things aren’t things at all – they are people and we are grateful for family, friends, and for the worldwide acoustic music and banjo community. We hope you enjoy this performance!”
