WOW I havent even thought about these shows for a while. I remember going to them in New Lexington, Ohio (43764) many times as a child with my family. At the time there were on black people living in the area that I knew of. I had no idea at the time that anyone was making fun of black people when I saw the show. I just thought they were being funny.

I LOVED the music. Nothing at all that I recall was to make fun of anyone. Maybe everyone if anything. What talent I remember. It was amazing. Particularly the banjo playing. A guy named Matt Mooney who now plays banjo in a small street jazz band somewhere in Arizona I believe. He was ONE of the banjo players. And at the time he was a kid!!

Someone show bring back a similar show without the black faces of course.
