Full text and audio transcript of an interview w/ Seeger conducted in April/May of 1963
"The banjo was originally an African instrument. Then, in the Southern plantations, the slaves figured a new way of playing it, which was half European half African.
"Around the year 1830, the banjo was picked up by white people, and it swept America just like Rock 'N' Roll music did 100 years later.
