Hit the Right Notes for Joe King

The talented King family is one of the awesome families of Mummery and no one loves music more than Joseph King.  

(Joe is the second banjo player in, in his first year with Garden State String Band.)

Through entertaining, being a Mummer for 53 years, owning a music store and individually working with musicians, Joe has helped countless people enjoy making music. Now, Joe King is battling cancer. This comes after we lost Robert King last October.

(That’s Joe on the left, then Daddy King, then Robert and Ronnie.  I thank Rita King for these photos.)
