Calling on Retired Mums

   Not only has this site attracted numerous visitors who are active in the string band community today, it has caught the attention of many “old timers.”  We maintain this site to preserve the history of the hobby, as well as to document the 100+ years of tradition that came before us.  We would like to encourage all the “old timers” who visit the site to consider returning, in some capacity, to the hobby they love.  We know you’re out there, we know you love this hobby (why else would you be here?!), and we know you still have something of value to give.  Maybe it’s attending a fundraiser for your former organization, giving free lessons to young members for an hour before rehearsal each week, lending your expertise to the theme committee, bringing your child or even grandchild to a rehearsal, or simply sitting in with the band once a month.

Please consider coming out of retirement, if not to take a suit, then simply to show your support for this hobby we all love.  If you inspire even one person to become committed to preserving this tradition, you’ve made it worth your while.  Without gaining interest in and commitment to this hobby from the next generation, there may not be anything for us to archive 10 years from now. 

Help us instill in the next generation the love of mummery we all have in common on this site.  Stop by your old clubhouse next week, and tell them StringBandArchives.com sent you!
