Folk Laden in Munich Germany. Scroll to the bottom of the first page and click the word Homepage to get an English web page. A music store where I made friends with the owners Heidi and Ruediger Helbig. Ruediger is one of the best banjo players in the world. Ruediger is a well known banjo player in Germany for his television, radio, and recording work. He also wrote a popular banjo book in German that goes along with his CD "Banjo for Breakfast"(with tabs). This link on his name is for his new webpage to go along with a new instructional DVD he is working on for Banjo in the German Language. His current band is Huckleberry V, although the last time I talked to them they only had four members in the band so this may change to the Huckleberry IV. If you are ever in Munich stop by the store and tell Heidi and Ruedeger that Jim from Richmond, VA said hello. To open my own page with pictures about my trip to Munich and Ruediger & Heidi click Here
