"It was an unusual career path for a CU engineering student, but this year Chuck Ogsbury is celebrating 50 years of banjo making success." 

Hearing Judy Collins singing in the Memorial Center led him on a path to leave his engineering studies at CU and design his own banjo, open his own shop and find a life time of success creating "works of art" at Ome Banjo.

"We're kind of a national treasure that nobody knows about," Ogsbury quipped.
