In the early days of the Mummers parade all “string bands” were primarily strings. Banjos, violins, acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjolins, banjolele, upright bass fiddles. Now it’s predominantly saxophones. Also, no 10-12 year old boys/girls want to learn banjo.. they go after the sax, drums or bass.
Love south Philadelphia string band
Nice ❤❤❤
👌
can i talk to you about something
Sure beats the rap crap millennials seem to enjoy
I have to ask. Great video but why do they call themselves a string band when there are only 3 banjos?

@@justingraser7031Banjos are really hard to play.
@@yvonneplant9434 The tenor banjo is easier to play than the guitar, as it only has 4 strings. My own experiences.
