Customer Reviews

The book should open many eyes to banjo players

As an African American learning how to play the 5 string banjo (3-finger Scruggs style), it is interesting to know that there are other black banjo players or enthusiasts out there. One black man watched me play the banjo on the street and said that he never saw a "sister" playing a banjo before. Black people today don't realize their contributions to American society and culture with the banjo. This book is a must for all banjo players black or white. Keep up the good work.
