Alison Brown is a Grammy-award winning banjoist, co-founder of Compass Records and recovering investment banker.
I continue to be impressed by the team’s selection of narrators. These snippets of America are really, really good.
I was reading last night that Pete Seeger’s banjo was actually 3 frets longer than the standard length! And boy, could his fingers fly!
Indeed
Alison is an awesome human being and an incredible banjo player, not to mention her knowledge of musical history. Kudos, great choice, great subject!
I loved the end quote on this piece. I can’t help but smile when I see and hear a banjo player!
Would have loved to have seen Rhiannon Giddens do this piece…
I learned to play folk guitar. I then tried banjo. It's a hard instrument to learn but I admire the players of today who are keeping it alive. Rhiannon Giddens is another wonderful player.
Beautiful
