[Dixielandjazz] For the banjo players

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Come on Ginny it's a 5 string banjo - that's what they do -  I have a hard 
time with more than 15 minutes of it myself but it is a recognized folk 
music in this country and those who engage in it are every bit as 
enthusiastic about TheirKOM as we are.  There are drone pipes on the Bagpipe 
and drone strings on some Dulcimers.  It's an old style of folk music 
brought over from England.  Come on you know all that.  It's show 
biz.....................
