There's his great banjo playing, of course, but I prefer the more modal sound of Snipes' playing.

It's too bad there's not more of an audio record of the African-American "old-timey" sound, especially as it was they who gave us the banjo in the first place, and it was from them the white musicians learned how to play.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-45276205445277794352011-08-19T05:36:46.431-07:002011-08-19T05:36:46.431-07:00Lovely music and, as always, a most interesting wr...Lovely music and, as always, a most interesting write-up.
