I am in the process of reducing the number of instruments in my house and realized that I'm also selling off some cool, irreplaceable case stickers. Here are a few of them:
R.Crumb says," In a blue funk? Depressed? Take up the BANJO! "
Denis Lepage was (is?) a super southern Ontario banjo player and his group, Station Road disbanded some years back for health reasons ...they were starving to death.
My mandolin case has this sticker - "In Heaven..." It's too fuzzy to read, but my friend, Dennis DeLorme added,"What! There are banjos in Heaven?" at the bottom of the sticker.
The accordion sticker is one that I made after hearing someone make the comment after seeing a picture of Sally Ann Forrester in Bill Monroe's band.

Those are good, Jim. I've got one that's yellow and black like a warning sign and says "WARNING! The last person who touched my banjo is in my backyard". There is a stick person burying another person, along with a banjo with a cross over it. It's hilarious!

I'm a sticker freak, as they give a case character. Mine are mostly place names (Ireland, Colorado, Cape Breton, Chicago, etc.,) so I can create the false image that I'm some kind of folk singer/star. Damn...I am SUCH a phony!

I was a bartender in Kingston Ont 1980 at the Birdcage Lounge. Denis Lepage played there. We went to Carlisle & partied with reverend Ken . I played the falopian tuba!. They had a dog named wheatstraw that wandered around the stage while they were playing. Aeolean Hall in London Ont. Willie P & the Dixie Flyers. David Essig lives out here as well as Diamond Joe.

Amazing...I was born in Kingston, have played with Denis at an open mic, with Rev Ken in several configurations. I've never played the falopian tuba, but Washboard Hank, its inventor, is a good friend.
I knew Wille P and have some of his mouth harps. My son Clay has one of his mandolins and my other son Darcy has a guitar that he got from Willie. Finally, David Essig and Melina slept in our back room when they played in Cobourg at Folk At The Forum.
I don't think I've ever been to the Birdcage and I've never met Wheatstraw though.

I think Denis Lepage was the best banjo player Ontario ever produced. Too bad he doesn't still play, and if he does, i haven't heard of him. Hey Jim, do you have any of their old 8-tracks or records? I would love to get some copies but i can't find anything online. Any info would be appreciated...

I do have some records of Denis, The Doctor Is In, and maybe another. I have all of the ones he made with Station Road. I can burn them on CD for you.
