Old-Time Clawhammer banjo is the heartbeat of our early American heritage

Saturday, April 5, 2014

The African American culture brought to this continent a musical concept that wedded itself to the European violin music of the first settlers. The offspring was a sound that carried this nation through the Civil War and then westward with the post-civil war expansion. For some of us this sound has become a part our modern existence. We play, collect, build, trade, and enjoy the banjo and the traditional music that is part of it's domain. Was it Steve Martin who said "you can't play the banjo and be sad".
