Summary

The Fern Dale Memorial Banjo Band -- on this occasion, eight plectrums and a tenor, plus trombone, bass, drums and two washboards -- at the Mouldy Figs&#39 30th anniversary bash in suburban Minneapolis, Minn., on Feb. 9, 2003. I arranged it, so to speak, and lead off with a bit of &#34Rhapsody in Blue&#34 on my 1926 B&D Silver Bell #1 plectrum, then we carve up &#34Bye Bye Blues,&#34 &#34Alabama Jubilee,&#34&#34Down Yonder&#34 and &#34Waiting for the Robert E. Lee.&#34 There&#39s a picture of the band in my album here.
