Hi all,

I would like to share some information of interest:

To whom it may concern:

Subject: Miss banjo International

The Colombian Committee of Miss Banjo International is looking for a nice old time lady which would be our participant this year. The contest will be effectuated in Kuala Lumpur according to the Banjo Beauties International Board.

For almost five years our beauty queen has been Ms. Savannah SB-100. This fine lady, with a lovely Chinese heritage, came from North America to Colombia where she has been making a marvelous participation since then. However, these are new times, and therefore it is time for a new participant in order to have more chances at international events.

We are looking a participant with these main characteristics: open-back, preferably an old time girl (1890-1930), it is possible with geared tuning pegs (SB-100 does not have the fifth string tuning peg), prepared to perform classical style tunes, and with an American or British ascendance. Unfortunately we have a small budget (500-1000 US dollars), therefore we would prefer an American lady because the travel fees to Colombia.

Therefore, we would like to know your opinion about some possible candidates which we found at USA, exactly at the Bernunzio website: S.S. Stewart Universal Favorite (http://bernunzio.com/product/ss-stewart-universal-favorite-16592/), SS Stewart Special Thoroughbred (http://bernunzio.com/product/ss-stewart-special-thoroughbred-16656/) and SS Stewart Lady Stewart (http://bernunzio.com/product/s-s-stewart-lady-stewart-15827/).

We are open to suggestions. In addition, we really appreciate any information about additional websites where we can find other possible candidates.

Kind regards,

German Patarroyo

Director and only member

Colombian Committee of Miss Banjo International
