Ed Abram
Friday & Saturday Evenings, 6-9pm
Ed Abram is a well-known performer both locally and nationally,
having performed at many Airborne functions across the country. He
has been a featured entertainer at the Airborne Awards Festivals in
Atlanta, GA, for over 15 years, and has appeared at the dedication
of the General Lee Airborne Museum in Dunn, NC, where he was the
opening performer for a dhow that Pat Boone head lined. Ed was the
house organist for the NYS Teacher's conventions in the mid-60's and
has played for two State VFW conventions. At the end of WWII he was
playing with the 11th Airborne Division dance band, and, following
the war he played with several local groups. One of these, the Dave
Corbin Four, was the house band at Danceland in Kirkwood, NY for
over 17 years. After many years playing multiple keyboards and doing
vocals, Ed finds the Whole in the Wall a relaxing and pleasurable
experience. We hope you will, Too! Curt Osgood

Robert Siegers
2nd Tuesday of Every Month, noon-3:00pm
RJ Siegers is an amazing flexible journeyman of the 5-string
banjo. Whether performing for a captive audience or merely supplying
background music, Siegers navigates throughout a broad spectrum of
musical genre including Celtic, Americana, ragtime, bluegrass,
classical and contemporary. Much of his repertoire consists of
original music, some of which has been released on his CD entitled
Heyday. Siegers, also know as "Banjo Boris," resides in Tioga
County, NY but learned how to play from his father while living out
in the west. He has performed throughout the United States, Canada
and Scandinavia. Siegers succeeds in his attempts to maneuver the
banjo into a more easy-listening atmosphere. He puts a lot of time
and energy into his performances, many of which last for hours.
Three of his secrets to his indefatigability are working out, eating
lots of Brussels sprouts and enjoying the music he performs.
