Banjoes in lieu of drums …

[@merccadoosis8847]

Great to see these guys have fun. But will groups such as this ever fully integrate racially/ethnically? Don't mean no harm by asking. Jus' askin, you know.

[@lolee1234]

Why do they have to infuse something different into what is wonderful the way it is? Other races have their special ways of expressing themselves. IMHO, they are appreciated by those who are attracted to the specific "flavor." What is wrong with that? Do all people like vanilla ice cream, or liver, or any other food? We all have different personal pallets. I happen to love string bands just like they are, and it is obvious that they love it too. They are truly passionate about their hobby.

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@lolee1234 Didn't say ''they have to''. Only that I asked if they ever will. Nothing wrong with integration as variety is the spice of life and integration is strength.

@@merccadoosis8847why do you have to spoil something as brilliant as this..with woke nonsense

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@CurrabegOb Hey pal -- I know of certain people in Philly who are possessed of a darker complexion and who have told me they tried to become included but were not welcomed. Not being of that City, I can only go by their word. That's not "woke" but is truth.

You are nothing like Jimmy, so don't try to be or even imitate him .
