No concern whatsoever!

And remember, if the instrument survives...

It's a witch!

...or so the villagers tell me.

Jay-

"Banjo toss"!!!

What next, concertina dunking, fiddles burned at the stake?

Have they no concern for endangered instruments?

This is the third year of the festival.

What I find interesting, is that this year they are inaugurating the "Banjo Toss." The person who can toss a banjo the farthest will win - guess what? - a free banjo.

May the jokes begin...

Here's a folk festival coming up that I'm not familiar with: click here for info

Larry Hanks who just performed with Gordon Bok will also be performing there. I'm not familiar with any of the other performers.

Does anyone know how long this has been running?

Unfortunately it conflicts with the Mystic Sea Music Festival but I am curious. Maybe another year.

Cheerily,
