This clip from the full length documentary "Banjo Romantika" introduces you to Marko Čermák--by hearing Lee Bidgood and the Banjo Romantika band perform one of Marko's bluegrass-influenced songs. (You can hear and see Marko with his band Greenhorns here : youtube.com/watch?v=oYDL4CFJZc0 ) A venerable Czech banjo player and famous illustrator, Marko graciously hosted our filming crew to his cottage in the Brdy forest near the village of Hatě and spoke about the first time he heard a five-string banjo playing what he called "bluegrass as it should be!"
