I just picked up a book at Barnes this afternoon that ties in to this conversation. It involves some of the players on the Songsters cd from above,John Snipes and Dink Roberts. The title is "African Banjo Echoes in Appalachia" by Cecelia Conway. University of Tennessee Press, 1995. I've only gotten thru the preface and 1st chapter, and of course scanned thru the pictures and some of the other text, but it seems like it would be of interest to anyone who would be interested in this thread. I will probably start a new thread on the book when I get thru with it, but I thought it might be pertinent now, so I thought I'd add it now. BHSC
