To Azizi Powell,
Keep up the work, As a African Amer. banjo player, I always tell other AA's that the banjos origin is right here with us. Not only with us but right here were we live.(Norfolk,Va). Lately I have been searching for thoses secular songs from back in the day. I have always felt that they were out there.
I also love the fact that other people are carfully looking at your work. What ever is discovered must be tested by your peere.
I'm still reading the thread. I'm kind of new to this tjread stuff,so hang in there with me.
Keep up the work
