Thanks for posting the great photos Bob. For someone who plays banjo and button accordion AND works at a marine museum, it doesn't get any better than this!

I can almost feel the intensity of the music these guys play...

Yeah - They're going lay into "Jackie Tar" and really drive it. I wanna be there!

That appears to be a seven-string banjo. Crazy Brits!
