Many of the techniques used for an early style banjo such as the one I hold (1858 Levi Brown replica by Jim Hartel) in large part died out as the 'stroke' style favored in these tunes (which itself was a descendent of West African techniques on ancestral lute type instruments) evolved into the 'frailing' or 'clawhammer' so well known and loved in old time music. In this piece, Butler's Jig from Frank Converse's banjo tutor of 1865 (tab'd by Joseph Weidlich), you can see the thumb technique that

Every time i pick up my banjo (made by Jim Hartel) I feel a lick or tune wanting to escape into the world. This is one of hundreds that come and go. I play this banjo, a replica of a banjo style from 1858, because it feels deeply cultural and spiritual to me. A time when everyone was playing the banjo - regardless of the negative stereotyping being created around it, this african diasporic instrument was capturing the hearts of a nation. The banjo began in spirit, and when I play it, I feel that

We're back at it! A little minstrel banjo and gourd viola for a beautiful Saturday morning, made by Jeff of Menzies Instruments. To be out in nature in North Carolina with these instruments in hand, we can feel the connective threads of generations who laid down their roots here before us. That's why my ongoing collaboration with Jeff is so important. We are continuing old time traditions in the construction of the Jamaica Academy of Arts in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica.

“The banjo was one of the few ways you could make money as an enslaved person. With your fiddle or your banjo, you could create music and get paid. It became a very popular instrument and became the backbone of a lot of different American musical styles.” So wonderful to team up with #AizuriKids for the newest episode of their educational series - rich exploration of the history of the banjo and the extraordinary life and music of Elizabeth Cotten!

Been working on a big project about early banjo music that has got me excited - been going through a lot of pieces from 1855 and thinking about the cultural soup this music came from - African/Irish/German/English/Indigenous etc etc etc - but particularly interested in where traces of the African diaspora have survived in European notation. This tune I’ve been living with a long time, and the fifth string increasingly becomes the key to where the real rhythm is. Hard Times from Briggs’ Banjo Ins
