[Dixielandjazz] Some New Banjo Expertise on YouTube

[David M Richoux]

I am not a banjo expert by a long shot, but I have played with quite a  
few banjoists and listened to many more. I sure do not hear any "C  
Drone" (or any pitch drone) on that recording - nothing like I might  
have expected from maybe a  Bluegrass or Country Blues Banjo, anyway.

  Maybe it is some difference in terminology among banjo operators?

I liked the performance a lot, by the way.

On a completely different level, check out this "blast from the  
past!" ( not much OKOM here, so don't be disappointed. )
