[Dixielandjazz] What is a banjo?

[PATRICK LADD]

The fact that it is a lovely instrument with great rhythmic
capabilities>>

Hi Bill,
so rythmic in fact that the British Army Infantry used it to keep the step 
and lead the singing on route marches.
Particularly on the long marches in India according to Kipling, see Plain 
Tales from the Hills, Departmental Ditties etc.,

Cheers

Pat
