<p>Hi, Steve!</p>
<p>I understand your longing to get to know other banjoists/ bone players especially face to face. So many musicians playing period styles are isolated.

There is already a gathering, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine is hosting one as part of Antietam National Battlefield's Music Weekend, Friday, June 24th to Sunday June 26th of this year at the Pry House.
