Charlie Tagawa
Charlie Tagawa (born October 27, 1935) is a Japanese-American musical entertainer, banjoist, and Japanese immigrant. His musical career has spanned seven decades and as a critically acclaimed performer he is regarded as one of the best (contemporary) banjo players and arguably one of the all-time best. He performs regularly across the U.S. and in Japan where he is known professionally as Japan's 'Harry Reser'. A 2003 inductee into the National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame,〔http://www.americanbanjomuseum.com/national-four-string-banjo-hall-of-fame/hall-of-fame-members, Hall of Fame members list, retrieved August 8, 2010〕 Tagawa often performs as the headline act at banjo jazz festivals and shows. He is also the international good will ambassador for the Peninsula Banjo Band.
==Early career==
Born in Tokyo, Japan, a 21-year-old Tagawa was introduced to the banjo by one of Japan's top banjoists and recording artists, Takashi Tsunoda, in 1956.〔Knight, Heather. ''Picking and Grinning: The Peninsula Banjo Band keeps its music alive—and its fans smiling'', page 1. San Francisco Chronicle, February 16, 2001. Retrieved from online archive, ( SFGate.com ), August 8, 2010.〕 Although he started on guitar, he found his calling upon picking up a four-string tenor banjo. Shortly thereafter Tagawa purchased a used tenor banjo for US$20.00. After graduating from Senshu University with a degree in Economics, he became a student of Tsunoda's. Tagawa was an apt student and quickly developed a style and manner of his own.〔Atkinson, Glenn: ''Charlie Tagawa & his Junior Banjo Band'', LP jacket notes ''The Stars & Stripes Are Forever''. 1977.〕 After three months of lessons and practicing Tagawa became a professional banjo player and started earning money from his performances.〔Zhang, Jennifer: ''Charlie Tagawa has plied his melodic trade for a half-century'', page 1. ''The Cupertino Courier'', SVCN, LLC., 2002.〕
Tagawa joined one of the premier country-western bands in Tokyo playing lead banjo on a two-year tour.〔 He then joined the ''Dixieland Dukes'' as a soloist for three years. Tokyo's Gaslight Club was his next stop as a featured entertainer as his repertoire began to include favorite songs of other nations.
