Went up a few weeks ago to hang out with Joe. It was wonderful to spend a little time with the father of the revival of minstrel banjo! I managed to get some great video of some of what he is working on at the moment and thought others might be interested.

Awesome. (I might quibble a little about the "Father" status, thinking that Dr. Bob was perhaps the first one to really investigate this style in the modern age, but no matter. Joe is a giant in our world.)

Wonderful, it sounds like a morris dance tune, very English. Love to see more videos of Joe
