I hear you!  I have intentions of posting if I ever get around to it.  I do check, daily, to see if anyone else has.

Hello? My name is Scott Danneker and Used to post here many years ago. I am at the John Brown’s Dream Old Time gathering near Harper Ferry.Here I have encountered Dave from thr old Camptown Shakers and another Dave, minstrel banjo maker from Belair, MD. The venue here is suitable for The Minstrel genre as it is located on the site where John Brown planned his raid. That said, I will be bringing my Terry Bell next year and assuming Dave, Dave and I are still kicking next year there will be three of us here. If anyone else is interested reply here. Hope someone out there gets this message. -scott
