Thanks for this video, Jim!
Magic!
The greatest scholar of the roots of the banjo, a great musician, and a wonderful teacher of children responsible for Nora Brown, as a good and noble friend, writing me about my own inconsequential personal problems, the night he died. I keep his picture on the wall where he is looking down on me telling me to get to work!
2 priorities: 1) get more people involved 2) reign in the undue influence of big money madisonvfp.org/

I appreciate your concern for innocent lives Z Boys. I am a part of putting up the Memorial Mile. Veterans for Peace works to educate people on the costs of war. We work to stop war and eliminate nuclear weapons. We need to recognize our effects on the world and realize what is really right and wrong. War profiteering and US war crimes are wrong. The enemies that Americans have are mostly created by our government.
Great interview. :)
He has the passion for the early banjo as very few of us do. Hopefully, this will inspire more to pick up a gourdie.
Just met and heard one of this mans students! Nora Brown....incredible banjo musician and singer...so wonderful! What a lucky young girl!
Great work!

Thank you for posting this.
I learned about this project through a fiddle class at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, CA a few years ago. As an amateur music folklorist, this material looks exciting and valuable on many levels. Looking forward to purchasing it. Spread the word!!! M
