In Mummery, there's always a story to tell. Some stories are born inside a Mummer clubhouse, some stories come to be when on a long road trip, and some stories impact the entire Mummers community.

On this episode, we're talking to Pat Walton, captain of the Jersey String Band, and Alex Walton, banjo player with the Jersey String Band; about their time in Mummery, their thoughts on our great hobby, and the process it took to transition from the Broomall String Band, to the Jersey String Band.
