Ask your average American what type of music they associate the banjo with, and they'll generally list of some form of White folk music: bluegrass, old-time, Pete Seeger-style folk.... However, the banjo is actually a descendent of African musical instruments, and was created in the American and Caribbean colonies by African slaves. It made its way into white music when slaves interacted with white sharecroppers and their music melded.
The road that leads us from Edison's (a 16 year old with no formal education from a small town - Milan, Ohio) tin-foil cylinder to today's audio DVD is a fascinating avenue crammed with remarkable people, inventions and innovations. Our past accomplishments contribute to what we are today, and signpost the future as a never-ending quest to push the envelope of what is possible in audio.
A SPECIAL THANKS to Elijah & Seth Templeton for sharing your creative/musical talent with us and to Jmuzik for supporting, arranging and contributing this original composition. It's a beautiful piece.
