Lee Frank - guitar tuned banjo Lee started his band experience when he was 16 years old in the Philadelphia area.  Playing a guitar, he joined a String Band and discovered that his guitar could not be heard over the banjos so he switched to banjo.  He belonged to the Westmont String Band and has played with Palmyra and Garden State String Bands.  Later, as a member in the Shriners, he played with Crescent Temple, Lulu Temple and Irem Temple String Bands.  Lee says that he is “A Strummer, a Hummer, and a String Band Mummer.”	Linda Hansen - guitar tuned banjo Linda's music credentials are more formal than most.  Included in her resume are a music major, a voice major and piano minor at Southern Illinois University. Then, while teaching at the elementary level in the St.Louis, Missouri area, and inspired by her mother who played the mandolin, Linda began experimenting with the guitar and four string banjo. Her interest in Dixieland-type jazz bands expanded when her husband Jim Hansen played the drums in several Dixieland bands on the Mississippi riverboats in St.Louis. After the Hansens moved to Florida her husband began playing with a Dixieland band and Linda longed to play banjo with an organized group. Given the opportunity, Linda is now the only female member in the Marco Island Strummers.
Eugene Gomolka - Guitar tuned banjo Gene Gomolka claims he is the wounded soldier playing the fife in the famous Revolutionary War painting. Although not quite that old, Gene has been a musician­ wannabe ever since he was a child and played the Notre Dame fight song with one finger on his grandmother's farm piano. Self-taught, he currently enjoys entertaining audiences with his piano keyboard, Dixieland guitar-tuned banjo and a steel-stringed baritone ukulele. Gene prefers to bring his music to residents of nursing and retirement homes but is equally active in public venues playing the four-string banjo with the Marco Island Strummers and several other bands in Florida, Pennsylvania and Delaware. As a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Gene has composed and published several songs including one called "Red Hats and Purple Dresses."
