Hello Banjo Players & Enthusiasts:
I just rolled in to Bristol, Va. for "The Banjo Gathering" Nov. 1-4.
I so much look forward to meeting the banjo enthusiasts, scholars, and collectors who have informed the recent book, Chauncey Richmond & "The Old Buckbee": The Story of a Banjo, Its Maker. and Its Player.
To read the table of contents and introduction, visit the Variety Arts Enterprises website. (The functional clickable link will appear after my first three posts.)
After my 35-year career as an acrobatic juggler, comic tap dancer --- and tenor and 5-string banjo player --- it is heartwarming to connect with new banjo enthusiasts.

Fellow Banjo Enthusiasts:
To be excruciatingly correct, for the most comprehensive information about the book, Chauncey Richmond & "The Old Buckbee": The Story of a Banjo, Its Maker, and Its Player, by Reginald W. Bacon, visit the publisher's website to read the table of contents and introduction: VarietyArtsPress (dot) com.

Fellow Banjo Historians ... & Buckbee Banjo Enthusiasts:
Here at the first day of the 2018 "Banjo Gathering" in Bristol, Va., the display about the new book, Chauncey Richmond & "The Old Buckbee: The Story of a Banjo, Its Maker, and Its Player, has drawn steady interest ... and personally, many new-found friends. Of great satisfaction to me was the opportunity to meet and thank several giants of banjo scholarship whose banjo history context led the way to my subsequent new discoveries about the enigmatic-but-prolific banjo manufacturer in the Bronx, N.Y., John Henry Buckbee.
To be even more excruciatingly correct than past postings, the proper link to read the introduction and table of contents, and to see the front & back cover, is :
