Episode 11 of String Band Sessions podcast begins our new series "Putting It Together" as host Jim Donio will chat with experts from make-up & masks, costume & set design, music arranging, and costuming about how they contribute their unique talents to help the bands complete their productions. In this episode, make-up and mask maestro Jim LoSasso shares his 40+ year journey of literally changing the face of Mummery. His stroll down memory lane includes glimpses back at Greater Kensington String Band's 1983 Just Clownin' Around and Hegeman String Band's 1984 Dante's Dancing Inferno; plus Quaker City String Band's 1985 The Scarecrow's Hay Day and Polish-American String Band's 1986 Dr. Hi-Tech and His Robot Ramble, which both won 1st Prize. LoSasso is still going strong as he continues working with numerous groups as they prepare for January 1, 2026.
