Interest in minstrel music was super high at the Midland Mich. Folk Festival. Our workshop was full of fiddlers and a few banjo players. Great crowd.

Terry, that's great! What was the title of your workshop?
(that's one of my t-shirts, by the way...!)
You designed this shirt? Cool. The workshop name was 'Minstrel Music in the Civil War' or something like that. There were enough fiddles there to make an orchestra but the 2 lonely minstrel banjos cut right through.
That's no joke....Terry! 15 to 20 Fiddles..... !!
I'm just happy there was a few clawhammer banjo plays in the crowed to watch our backs.... the odds were stacked against the Minstrels...
Yeah Terry, it's one of the shirts i designed and sell. You either ordered it from my shirt site, or from Elderly (my biggest wholesale customer). I folded it with my own widdle hands! ;D
I can't understand why you'd have such a high proportion of fiddles to banjo in that workshop- is Michigan a heavy fiddle state with few banjo players ?
Ya... on the fiddles. We're outnumbered. Hey, nice shirt. Nice fit, and nice material. I love it.
Hey nice to know you guys like them! :)
