A Nice Addition

You say you like history? How about the history of “Broad River” music (as Ben Humphries calls it), about the musicians who lived among us a long time ago, who passed along their style of playing to the likes of Earl Scruggs. Read Bob Carlin’s Roots of Earl and Snuffy: Searching for the Banjo Along the North/South Carolina Border in  History » Articles. And at the bottom of the “About the Author” page there’s a nice video of John Hartford’s “The Boys from North Carolina.”
