<p>I think that because the photos were posted on Melinda Day's facebook page, you might have to be "friends" with her in order to see the pictures. I did ask Melinda to make the photo album "public," so see if you can log into Facebook and search for "Harpers Ferry Music Academy." Please let me know if this works.</p>

<p>Thank you James, for your kind words about the event. I'm glad that you got one of Jim's banjos and the Cory ended up being able to help you with the bones. I hope we'll get to hang out once again in the near future. </p>

<p>I would like to thank Greg Adams and everyone involved in staging the Harper’s Ferry workshop, for a most enjoyable and rewarding weekend.</p>
<p>This was my first time attending an event of this nature, and I was struck by how congenial, helpful and supportive everyone was.</p>
<p>The event was well-organized with a good balance between historical presentations, instructional sessions, dance demonstrations and jamming opportunities. The public concert on Sunday highlighted some of the very talented musicians and singers in attendance.</p>
<p>On Saturday morning I met Mr. Jim Hartel who brought me an absolutely beautiful copy of a skin-headed, gut-strung Boucher banjo. I can hardly stand to put it down. Mark Weems and I arrived at home around 10:30 Sunday night, and you could still hear the booming voice of that banjo echoing over the hills of Carolina until 2 a.m. Monday morning.</p>
<p>I also tried playing the bones, but was not having much success until Cory Rosenberg noticed my feeble attempts and instructed me on the proper method. Within minutes I was able to play triplets and now I have something besides the banjo with which to annoy my family.</p>
<p>From the viewpoint of a novice, I don’t believe I could have had a better introduction to the minstrel music genre and the wonderful people who comprise this community.</p> I think it might actually hav…tag:minstrelbanjo.ning.com,2011-11-14:2477478:Comment:556822011-11-14T22:27:18.013ZGreg Adamshttp://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/profile/GregAdams
