John M. Turner

Turner was known for his banjo juggling routines.

Al Baur wrote this about him in "The Journal"...

"Frank Converse has often told me a story of John M. Turner. Turner was practicing swinging two banjos. He stood at one end of the room swinging the banjos, when all at once one of the banjos slipped from his hand and went through a mirror at the other end of the room. It cured Turner of trying that act, but he adopted another equally as bad, that of playing three banjos at one time."
