The Banjoman came to Starlight

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Today locals got a Call from the Wildman’s very own Banjoman.

The Starlight Annex was full of students, members, and teachers ready for a foot-stomping and hand-clapping good time. Call of the Wildman’s Neal James also known as ‘The Banjoman’ came to Starlight to talk about his time on the show and playing good old bluegrass music. Neal said he had a heart to heart with the teachers and told them the students will do great things including possibly finding a cure for cancer.

“It’s worth it, you want to do it,” said James. “I got news for you, a lot of these people here today that are gifted beyond our comprehension is and what we’re able to understand.”

The Banjoman had the students talk with him during the event and following his performance he signed autographs. James spoke about his desire to film ‘Call of the Wildman’ nationally, but he is not sure that will happen.

“Turtleman told me the other day, he’s going to buy a camera and we’re going to do our own home videos and put it on YouTube like the rest of the world,” James said. “That’s where he got his start, it was on YouTube. So I guess we’re going to reinvent the wheel.”

James said to look up Ernie Brown or The Turtleman on YouTube in the future to see when they’ll start uploading videos.
