I was just trying to get clear what you meant by "old time", as opposed to "african". &....that's the trad way: play bell first, and learn the music, before you get on the drum, which talks. Cool!

Now, I'll get "off your case", and get back to working on playing Woyaya on the ukulele...you know, they always say the uke came from that one Portuguese maker that got off the boat. That didn't make no sense--no one can be that influential. Then I read about all the Puerto Rican & other Caribb...

Does that mean that your sound is less "white" = less "old timey"? "More African" is what the folks that did not get recorded sound like....Isn't that what you're there to invoke? As the ads used to admonish: "What do you want: good grammar, or good taste?"...

They were having fun--great! But: what they're doing is not the dance Fanga, which was created by Pearl Primus after her trip to Liberia. Nor is it the rhythms traditionally played with the dance. The melody is U.S.: Lil Liza Jane, with Yoruba words put to it in New York City by LaRoque Bey. ...

@ikachina Domo arigato. It was a pleasure to hear that source recording. The fiddle tune definitely is an "outgrowth" of the A part of the song, the part--I believe--that was created by the Irish-American Rice. The B part, the chorus, is the part Rice got from the African American stablehand...

@ikachina The minstrel era goes back about 50 years before audio recordings were invented and about ten years before photography was invented, much less film or video. So, chances of finding a video are pretty slim. The version I'm playing came from the sheet music, as published in Hans Nathan...

@LockettUCLA Did you get insulted 'cause he said "Sambos"? Among the Jola, "Sambo" is the same as "Smith" or "Jones" or "Jackson" or "Jefferson" or "Washington"...it's a very common name that, we believe, is the origin of "Litttle Black Sambo" and the rest.....
